Automatic delay compensation corrects for delays incurred by plug-ins and mixer routing as well as side-chaining.

SoundFlow is a state-of-the-art workflow automation platform that enables Pro Tools users to reduce complex, many-step tasks to single keystrokes or presses on a touch surface.

Or, drag a MIDI clip to an audio track for more creative editing possibilities. Audio-to-MIDI allows you to repitch notes and play with the timing. It not only works with melodic material, but you can also convert percussive and polyphonic recordings too.

The Celemony Melodyne essential plug-in makes it easy to fix bad notes, hold out good ones, tighten up grooves, or even rearrange the melody, all with natural-sounding results. Perfect vocal and instrument performances quickly, or get more creative with them, using the core toolset.

Pro Tools | GrooveCell is a virtual drum machine and sequencer that makes it easy to create intricate beats and drum patterns in Pro Tools. You can use the included sounds and presets or build custom drumkits by dragging and dropping your own samples onto the drumpads (MP3, WAV, or AIFF).

Pro Tools | SynthCell is a modern virtual synth that offers a wide palette of sounds in Pro Tools—from old-school familiar to the truly unique. Sporting two oscillators, two multimode filters, an LFO, envelopes, an arpeggiator, and a variety of effects, you can start sculpting your own sounds from scratch or cruise through the library of presets and instantly find something organic, distorted, smooth, chaotic, or analog, without ever touching a knob.

Pro Tools | Sonic Drop is a monthly program that delivers a massive collection of effects, virtual instruments, processors, loops, and inspiring samples on a monthly basis. From traditional instruments and found sounds to content from other artists and industry partners, each drop focuses on a specific theme, giving users an ever-growing collection of sounds.

The Hybrid Engine provides a vastly significant boost in performance for DSP-powered HDX Systems. This proprietary technology maximizes the performance of your Pro Tools Ultimate rig by leveraging both native and DSP processing more harmoniously. All processing, voice count, and mixing is handled by your CPU until the moment you need a DSP-based workflow.

You can toggle between Native and DSP modes on a per-track basis and nullify the distracting effects of latency simply by clicking a button. The track’s entire signal chain and AAX DSP-compatible plug-ins are then processed directly on the HDX card while your CPU plays back the rest of your mix. This means you can track bigger sessions (with a massive 2048 voices and audio tracks at all sample rates even with one-card systems) and work with a lot more outboard gear using any Core Audio interface.

Whether bouncing a final mix, consolidating tracks, or printing stems, the new Bounce window enables you to work more easily than ever before. Create your own presets for frequently used workflows. Import OP-Atom audio files. QuickTime capabilities are back, enabling macOS Catalina users to once again export MOV, MP4, M4V, and M4A (AAC) files, critical for audio post workflows.

For video-game sound designers, dialog editors, and sound librarians, who often import tens of thousands of audio files per project, Space Clips eliminates the mind-numbing grind and time wasted spacing clips apart before getting to work. With a single command, you can separate multiple clips on a track at equal time intervals of your choosing, quickly and easily.

With the Dark theme, Pro Tools offers a modern look and feel that’s easier on the eyes—especially in lower light conditions. You can also change the brightness and saturation of almost every aspect of the Dark and Classic user interfaces.

Take command of large sessions by organizing tracks into collapsible folders, enabling you to work more creatively and productively. Arrange, consolidate, and route tracks quickly with drag-and-drop ease. And, group folders in folders and color-code them for even easier navigation.

Expand your instrument options and enable multiple musicians and beatmakers to play along with your session. With support for Ableton Link, you can connect Pro Tools to a wide range of Link-enabled music creation apps, electronic instruments, and sound processors on your network— everything and everyone in perfect sync.

Avid Cloud Collaboration enables you to work with up to 10 collaborators to contribute to the same Pro Tools project remotely. You can work on a song with anyone anywhere in the world as if you were in the same studio—all you need is an internet connection.

With Avid Link in the Pro Tools interface, you can connect with other music creators and audio professionals to find collaborators and gigs, share your work, promote your skills, and expand your creative opportunities. Plus, get your music heard on Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, TIDAL, and dozens of other major streaming services with easy music distribution through AvidPlay (available separately). AvidPlay supports 24-bit / 192 kHz audio, including Dolby Atmos music.
