Waves has announced that its GTR (Guitar Tool Rack) now supports Pro Tools 7 for both Mac and Windows platforms.

GTR 1.0 for Windows has been tested and certified for proper operation under Pro Tools 7, while GTR 1.1 for Mac OS X makes GTR Pro Tools 7-compatible on Mac. Pro Tools 7 users can download the new Mac installer by visiting download.waves.com. Users of other hosts supported in 1.0 should continue using 1.0.

Designed and developed over a two year period in association with Paul Reed Smith, founder of PRS Guitars, the critically acclaimed Waves GTR is a virtual system that emulates popular guitar amplifiers and effects while allowing the user to plug their guitar directly into a digital audio workstation. With 7 virtual amps, 23 stomp effects and a hardware impedance and level-matching interface, the GTR system puts the world’s best amplifiers, cabinets, microphones and effects at the user’s fingertips.

Waves GTR is compatible with both Native and TDM systems and includes the Waves/PRS hardware interface, Waves Amp software and Waves Stomp software all in one package. U.S. MSRP for Waves GTR is $600 Native, $1,200 TDM.

A DVD is available which includes a video that details the GTR’s features, a brief explanation of the Guitar Interface by Paul Reed Smith, and demo GTR software. Customers may visit www.waves.com and fill out the request form to have the DVD mailed to them. Waves is also launching a dedicated GTR website at www.wavesGTR.com.
