Don't need an account its on their regular site. no?

Ok from what I understand, any audio file that is brought into your session is now automatically analyzed for transients, and then assigned markers (kinda like Live) then your audio file changes in tempo based on your song, w/o pitch shifting.

Also the tracks in you edit window now have an additional option of how you want ProTools to analyze and treat this file this file in respect to tempo chages, i.e Rythmic, Polyphonic, Melodic, theres one more i think. (kinda like Live and melodyne)

Also for extreme tempo chages, whether it be slowing down or speeding up, so as not to have certain "slice" double up, you now have a dedicated plug in for each audio file that lets you set the decay of the "slices". (it doesnt actaully slice the file, Im just referring to the space between one transient marker and the next)

Also now instead of going through the whole beat detective, slice, extarct groove, procedure, and actually have to slice your file up, it can all be done based on the transient markers that are assigned to the audio file, leaving it all as one audio region. This includes quantizing as well.

Seems very intersting, should help workflow alot.
