Pro Tools

Pro Tools is a professional digital audio workstation developed by Avid that serves music creators, producers, engineers, and audio postproduction professionals worldwide. The software supports comprehensive workflows for recording, editing, and mixing audio and MIDI, including immersive audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and Sony's 360 Reality Audio, alongside traditional stereo and surround projects. Its Sketch component adds non-linear clip launching and arrangement experimentation to complement standard linear editing.

The platform provides flexible audio and MIDI editing tools that let users record, shape, and modify content without interrupting playback, along with professional mixing features such as automation and a dedicated mix window. Pro Tools integrates third-party technologies including Native Instruments' Kontakt, Steinberg's SpectraLayers and WaveLab via ARA 2, and SoundFlow automation with AI-powered assistance to streamline repetitive tasks. It also supports an ecosystem of third-party plugins through the AAX plugin format and a Scripting SDK for developers.

Pro Tools integrates with Avid Cloud Collaboration, enabling artists, producers, and engineers to work together remotely across different locations and time zones. The software is used across music production and audio postproduction, from independent creators to large studios and broadcast environments. Avid continues to release regular updates adding new format support, plugin partnerships, and workflow tools, and offers tutorials and in-app resources to support users across skill levels.
