PRO TOOLS COMPARISON

What is a voice?

A voice is a single audio stream that roughly equates to one mono audio track. A mono audio track will use one available voice. A stereo track will use two available voices. The voice limit is Pro Tools' capacity to play back a multitude of simultaneous voices. The higher the voice limit, the more tracks you can play back in Pro Tools to work on bigger, more demanding sessions.

Convert audio to MIDI

Wish you could re-pitch notes, play with the timing, or even change the instrument in an audio file? With new Audio-to-MIDI capabilities, it’s a simple affair. Just drag and drop an audio clip to an instrument or MIDI track, and Pro Tools analyzes and renders all pitches and timing as MIDI note data, ready to be edited or revoiced. It not only works with melodic material, you can convert percussive and polyphonic recordings too, opening up more new ways to create.

Export Dolby Atmos ADM files directly

Say goodbye to all the tedious time spent bouncing Dolby Atmos mixes to ADM (Audio Definition Model) files in real time for delivery. With Pro Tools | Ultimate, you can directly export and import ADM files to and from Pro Tools in faster-than-real-time offline mode, greatly streamlining your workflow. All groups and their associated beds and objects in the mix are embedded in the file, making delivery easy.

Deliver multiple mixes in a single file

Accelerate mix delivery between audio post-production teams and organizations with the ability to bounce multiple Pro Tools stems into a single file for easier delivery. Recipients can then open the stems in separate Pro Tools tracks on file import, preserving the mixes.

Mix for Netflix with confidence­

Pro Tools | Ultimate is now part of the Netflix Post Technology Alliance. We've worked closely with Netflix to ensure that Pro Tools solutions support Netflix's technical and workflow requirements today, and into the future.

Discover the power of the dark side

Now you can choose between light and darkness to meet your visual needs or preferences. With the new Dark theme, Pro Tools takes on a more dramatic, modern look and feel that’s easier on the eyes—especially in lower light conditions. It’s ideal for mood-lit studios and late-night sessions. Or for those simply looking for a sleek little change of scenery.

Save tons of time with Space Clips

For video game sound designers, dialogue 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.

Edit sound to picture with greater precision

Work with 4K/UHD video, H.264 media, and higher frame rates with new Avid Video Engine improvements that smooth the collaboration between editorial and sound mixing. Not only does this eliminate time-consuming transcoding or conversion, it enables more accurate audio work, so you can edit with confidence and deliver the perfect mix.
