As one of the first programs to provide CD-quality (16-bit and 44.1 kHz) multitrack editing on a personal computer, use of Pro Tools quickly grew in the sound recording field. It originally became popular because of its simple, streamlined interface for non-linear, non-destructive audio editing. This appealed to analog producers making the switch to computer-based production. Later, it became the first system to offer third-party plugins using Digidesign's TDM (Time Division Multiplex) format, which offered new creative options that further accelerated the transition from analog to digital recording.
