Avid Pro Tools Perpetual + 1 Year of Updates & Support (Download)

Power your sound with the tools that power the industry. Create music or sound for film/TV and connect with a premier network of artists, producers and mixers around the world.

Get More From the Cloud
With the latest release, you can now work with up to 10 collaborators in the cloud on a single project, including Pro Tools | First users. You can also choose to save projects locally or in the cloud using Selective Project Sync, giving you easy access to all of your cloud-based work from any Pro Tools-equipped computer—from anywhere you log into your account. And if you need more storage, you can now expand your cloud space for a low monthly fee.

Find the Right Sounds Fast
Need to find that perfect beat, groove, style or sound for your project? Soundbase makes it a snap to browse, search, audition, explore and experiment with loops, samples and sound effects from nearly any sound library. This new Workspace pane provides customizable tag filtering, so you can find what you need quickly. Search your libraries by instrument, genre, tempo, key, time signature and your own tags. And hear how content sounds in sync with your tracks.

Inspire and Accelerate Music Creation
Get access to the latest loops created by the industry’s leading producers and sound designers. Pro Tools now comes with a 2GB high-quality loop library from Loopmasters to wake up your mix and give projects that sonic edge. Whether you need a rhythm section, a cool riff, instrumental accompaniment or just something to help you get started, you’ve got hundreds of mini musical works, waiting to be discovered. And it’s easy to find and audition loops with Soundbase.

Experiment and Share New Ideas
Wish you could try out something creatively, but easily go back to a previous version of your project if you change your mind? Now you can. With Project Revisions, you can explore new versions of a song or soundtrack, make notes, share ideas with others, and quickly jump back to any previous state from anywhere—without having to worry about breaking anything. That’s because Pro Tools keeps all version history, audio files, notes and other data organized for you.

Edit Playlists More Easily
It’s now easier than ever to access and manage Pro Tools’ powerful playlists. Quickly switch between playlists with new key commands. Know if you have multiple playlists on a given track with new visual indicators. And automatically send overlapped clips to new or existing playlists.

Edit Layers of Audio More Easily
If you work in post, positioning countless audio clips to picture, you probably have multiple clips that overlap on a track. With new enhancements to the way Pro Tools handles such clips, editing audio is easier than ever. Clear only overlaps. Heal clips when removing one that overlaps two. Trim the starts and ends of two overlapping clips. Modify behaviors. And more. In addition, Pro Tools supports Clip Effects playback (editing requires Pro Tools | HD).

Adjust Fades More Easily
You can now quickly adjust a fade in, fade out, or crossfade's shape directly in the Edit window using the Smart Tool. Simply position your cursor over any clip’s fade area until it changes to the corresponding fade or crossfade cursor. Then click and drag left or right to change the fade's shape and slope.

Collaborate in the Cloud
Imagine being able to work on a session with friends, colleagues, or your favorite artist or producer with ease—no matter where they are in the world. You can with Avid Cloud Collaboration for Pro Tools. Record, edit, and mix projects with others as if you’re all working together in the same studio. And find new collaborators through the online Avid Artist Community.

Get Track Freeze, Commit and Bounce
Processor-hungry virtual instruments can impact system performance. And sharing sessions used to require that everyone have the same plug-ins. No more. With Track Freeze, you can quickly freeze or unfreeze all plug-ins on a track—or just up to a certain insert—to free up processing power. Track Commit is similar except it renders the track (or an edit selection) permanently. And with Track Bounce, you can render out stems for fast-and-easy file delivery.

Access Upgrades, Bonus Plug-ins and More
Get access to all new Pro Tools releases, expert help and a bonus collection of plug-ins with a Pro Tools subscription. With a new perpetual license purchase, you get access to all new releases and bonus plug-ins included for one year. Then renew your Annual Upgrade Plan to stay current, and maintain your plug-in access with the Plug-in and Support Plan. You can also upgrade an older version of Pro Tools by purchasing an Upgrade Reinstatement Plan.
