HEAT
(Avid HDX and Pro Tools|HD Systems with HEAT Option Only)
HEAT (Harmonically Enhanced Algorithm Technology) is a paid software option that adds “analog color” to Avid HDX and Pro Tools|HD systems. HEAT is applied to all active audio tracks in your session, emulating the effect of an analog mixing console. Use HEAT to open up your mixes with warm, analog-modeled soft-saturated distortion. Using HEAT in conjunction with the Stereo Pan Depth option (in the Session Setup window) lets you emulate the effect of classic analog consoles right in Pro Tools.
