MUSIC SOFTWARE FOR EVERYONE

Nudge notes. Layer sounds. Switch instruments. Transpose parts. The flexible MIDI Editor makes it easy to create and perfect parts. You can even capture MIDI performances and improvisations retroactively. Or view MIDI as music notation in the Sibelius-style Score Editor.

With Track Presets, you can quickly save, catalog, and recall your favorite effects chains, instrument sounds, vocal processing, and other track settings. It eliminates tedious tinkering, so you can spend more time creating.

Create the parts you need with a wide variety of virtual instrument sounds at your fingertips. Pro Tools music software comes with over 5 GB of high-quality sounds, so you can find the perfect beat, orchestral hit, or piano tone. Plus, you can browse and experiment with loops, samples, and sound effects in context with your tracks.

Perform multiple types of edits quickly and precisely with a single tool. The Smart Tool provides instant access to every editing tool, changing functions based on your cursor position, eliminating manual tool switching.

Easily tighten up and perfect performances without impacting your original sound. With Elastic Time, you can switch the entire session tempo, change a track’s timing to sit “in the pocket,” or beat-match audio for remixing—without affecting the pitch. Plus, make bad notes sound pitch-perfect or completely warp a track’s tuning to create something unique with Elastic Pitch.

Easily comp together multiple takes of a recording to create a single flawless performance. Select portions of a performance and easily cycle through alternative takes. Or, use the Target Playlist to select the best performances from multiple playlists in Waveform view. It’s a great way to explore different improvisations to hear what works best.

Automate volumes, pans, plugin settings, and more to create balanced mixes quickly. Isolate instruments. Punch up sounds. Create and alter effects. Add movement. Then, change up dynamics and intensity to bring everything together. It’s the easiest, most creative way to handle big complex mixes, without requiring manual performance.

With non-stop production, you can stay in your creative groove. Create and delete tracks, add and change plugins, switch presets, adjust loop points and more as your music plays. Freely experiment with 115 different plugins, including emulations of classic hardware EQs, dynamics, and reverb units, without interruption.

Mix plugin-heavy sessions with ease. Track Freeze lets you temporarily render all plugin processing on a track with a click of a button to free up CPU power, providing smoother playback for writing and editing automation. It also enables cloud collaborators to hear your mix the way you intend it, without the same plugins. You can then unfreeze tracks to make changes.

Work directly with 4K/UHD video, H.264 media, and higher frame rates, enabling you to place and edit sound to picture with greater precision and accuracy. From trimming clips and nudging video frames, to adjusting gain levels and working with 3D audio, Pro Tools makes it fast and easy to tweak and sync sounds to picture.

Pro Tools makes it easy to import and conform sequences from video editorial for audio post production. It supports 4K/UHD and other video formats natively, enabling you to start working your audio magic without editors needing to transcode video first. You can also quickly exchange mixes between audio and video teams as AAF files.

With Clip Effects, you can apply real-time EQ and dynamics to a single audio clip or clip group, enabling multiple clips to have different effects and settings without affecting the rest of the track. It’s ideal for fine-tuning dialogue and voiceovers with variance between clips. Not only does it save you time, it provides better session efficiency.

Mix soundtracks comprised of hundreds of tracks and thousands of clips efficiently with groups. Create a Mix Group to make adjustments to multiple tracks simultaneously. Use VCA masters to adjust overall group levels while maintaining individual track automation. When using a control surface, you can spill VCA groups across your controls to make quick tweaks to individual tracks.
