Record Without Interrupting the Session
Capture vocals, instruments, or dialogue while the session keeps moving. Loop recording repeats a section as many times as you need to collect alternate takes, playlists keep every take organized, and playlist comping combines the best moments into one seamless track. Punch-in recording replaces a selected section while leaving the rest of the performance in place. Everything is captured at 32-bit float resolution for extra headroom and clarity.Edit and Refine Your Takes
Slip, Grid, Shuffle, and Spot modes let you edit freely or lock changes to exact timing, and the context-aware Smart Tool trims, fades, selects, and moves clips without switching tools. Elastic Audio reshapes timing without re-recording, pitch can be corrected across a full clip or note by note, and clip gain sets levels before you reach the mixer. Audio to MIDI turns a recorded performance into editable MIDI parts. The included iZotope RX Spectral Editor runs inside the session via ARA 2 to reduce noise and repair vocals, instruments, and dialogue.Compose With MIDI
Pro Tools Studio provides 1,024… read more MIDI tracks and 130+ instruments and effects, including multi-timbral synthesizers, acoustic sample engines, and drum modules. MIDI track playlists store alternate arrangements on a single track so you can compare hooks and patterns side by side, MIDI effect plug-ins build arpeggios and chord triggers, and the MIDI editor lets you draw and adjust note velocities on the grid.Mix in Stereo or Immersive Formats
With 512 audio tracks, an analog-modeled console layout, and advanced automation for volume, panning, and effects, Pro Tools Studio handles large sessions. Folder tracks group, bus, and process stems into collapsible layouts. Over 1,700 built-in SoundFlow macros trigger multi-step commands from a single key. Professional-grade EQs, dynamics processors, and reverbs shape the sound, and the built-in Dolby Atmos renderer supports immersive mixing and monitoring alongside stereo. A single video track with timecode supports frame-accurate scoring and sound-to-picture work.Features:
