What’s New in Pro Tools?

[@sweetwater]

Join Mitch Gallagher on a tour of the new Pro Tools! What new feature do you like most? 🎛

[@iainmackenzieUK]

As an "artist/ wannabe producer", I dropped PT and shifted to Reaper about 15 years ago for stability, reliability and price Nothing here makes me regret that change.

[@davejohnsonmusic]

The industry-standard, that sets absolutely no standards. They've done nothing to make the MIDI Editor better. I've been waiting for 15 years, for a piano roll for drums and editor, where I can name each key what I want, like Cubase does. I still use Perpetual PT, but 2021.6 was the last version I'll ever use. When the day comes to upgrade my hardware, I'll be moving on to something else.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Reason DAW is dope and there devices look and function great. You can do audio pitch correction in the piano roll and they have many ways to program drums in devices and piano roll. I can make any type of beat with just the stick sounds. The only big problem with Reason is that it doesn't support VST3.

[@nactv1132]

My favorite ableton live kicking every well no drama, i only use pro tools for mixing and recording the interface is and tracking is inspiring

[@lacrimimosa2218]

MIDI on Pro Tools is not what it was a few years ago. It’s really really good currently but with a steep learning curve.

[@modpest]

Avid is such an arrogant disaster - I've been on PT for 15 years, made the decision last November to pay for one more maintenance cycle while spending the year transitioning to Reaper. Not disappointed - among other things, my full Reaper sessions are up and running in the time it takes for PT to figure out the iLok and start initializing.

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

Amen. Reaper is constantly being updated. You will only need to pay for reaper again when they change to 2 versions after yours (so when reaper 8 comes out). Even the few stock plugins it has are better than you might think. No reason to use anything else

[@mikemcgehee3924]

[@user-hc5th3oo3h]

I really hope avid reads all these comments, I was thinking about switching to pro tools since I’ve been doing more professional work. But after reading the comments here I’m just gonna stick with ableton and studio one, pro tools just costs way too much money for what is offered. The only reason I would buy pro tools is because everyone else uses it and says it has the best audio quality. But like, if I listen to songs that were mixed in other DAW’s I can’t tell the difference. The industry needs to grow up and let everyone just use the DAW’s they want. Got a bit of topic lol, but thanks comments :)

[@BillGrishaw]

I just echoed the very same in a comment. Btw, I used ableton for a decade, big fan and used studio w for about a year. Try Reaper and see. It took me 100 hours to get in the flow, but after that, I’m sticking w it for awhile. If you’re doing pro work and need a flexible daw for different workflows, Reaper can do it.

[@joeblack7841]

Yep, no sensible reason to jump into protools now. Spend that money on gear or plugins or studio space. Serioulsy there is NO audio difference between protools and Reaper its just a fake "industry standard" label theyve been riding on for way too long. Reaper will save you tons of money and headache. Im switching over in the next few months. Goodbye to the old, hello to the new.

[@stevesjob5072]

Yeah in the 2000s maybe pro tools had the best audio quality but now it's just a myth. Now if your DAW supports dual panning for every track (Live does) then you can get the same sound (the difference is tiny tho)

[@magi115]

but like, like, like, like.... 😂

[@makximumlive]

​@@stevesjob5072 I was using Nuendo 3 in 2009 and it sounded as good as pro tools... I think to my taste, it sounds better and the workflow was easy. I switched to Cubase in 2011 (Cubase Elements 6). After I discovered the 12th version and how it sounded, well I was happy. Then Studio One came along...

[@shango7942]

I switched from pro tools to studio one over 10 yrs ago and haven't looked back. I can't even fathom going back to pro tools, the couple of times I checked into pro tools, it was like going back into time.

[@DjangoFlaherty]

I left Pro Tools when they took away the upgrade path from Pro Tools 8 in a "press release" that they buried in a newsletter about something completely unrelated, mid way through Pro Tools 11's life when I had no reason to expect it. Literally bought the upgrade two weeks after my eligibility had been quietly taken away, and support's response to me, an intern at the time, was to rebuy Pro Tools for $899. What a rancid company.

[@ErnestoComposer]

I really can’t imagine why anyone would want to use Pro Tools if they weren’t forced to, just because it’s the standard (as in it was the first DAW to find its footing 30 years ago) but MAN does it suck using it and paying SO MUCH for it

[@WarrenPostma]

It's the standard If you dug a hole and put a post in it and on that post you put a board and you painted a message, and let the years roll on, and if you walk by today you can still see in faded paint that the sign says It's the standard.

[@ErnestoComposer]

@@WarrenPostma Hahaha perfect

[@af4396]

I would use it if it were 100 dollars to buy the Artist version or whatever. I used to use PT from version 9 through 12, and there's still no DAW imo that does audio editing workflow better. BUT, I found Studio One was close enough + it has a bunch of other features, workflows, instruments that also put it on par with Logic Pro X/Cubase etc. Once you try doing anything else in PT aside from audio editing, it's quite outdated.

[@stephenfleming8030]

The fact that Pro Tools, which has been entrenched in the industry for decades now, is about 10 years behind Steinberg in terms of features and functionality is a disgrace considering the cost. Avid are trading on a legacy, and short changing their customers in the process. I reluctantly went from PT12 BACK to Steinberg after many years. No platform is perfect, but honestly...you're only implementing custom Key Commands after 33 years, and calling it a selling point? And forcing HDX users, which is MOST studios, into the higher price bracket?

[@theshawnfussellband]

Yep. Piss on Avid. Today they officially sent me to Studio One as my main DAW. I'll keep my perpetual just so I can transfer PT files over as I get them. But you watch..they will make it to where the last version until today won't work anymore. Because they are snakes.

[@KrunoslavStifter]

Mitch is as good as they get when it comes to describing music gear and software but even he can't make Protools sound good anymore. They are behind in the technology most home studio buyers need and can easily get in other DAWs for far less money. Their technical support you have to pay for is a joke and has been for years. The one thing Avid leads in hands down is taking your money and giving nothing in return.

And I remember finding out about Logic's custom key commands when I started in v. 7... it was (and so many other things were) a revelation after slogging through Pro Tools. And now... in 2022... OH WOW PRO TOOLS HAS CUSTOM KEY COMMANDS! REVOLUTIONARY!

I understand you guys have to push the new PT format because it's just business. But Avid can kiss my tush after what they've done to the perpetual license owners. They won't go M1 native because it will make their carbon and DSP products obsolete. So the good news is that if you were current as of today...you can let it lapse and still get the best version you're ever gonna get. And plus, Mitch...we all know you use Studio One...because you're not a sucker. I refuse to pay even more now for an inferior DAW. Reaper and Studio One have topped the mountain. This is just Avid trying to scrape up any money they can before they lose stock value. WE ARE TIRED OF KEEPING AVID ALIVE....today they spit in our faces once again. And it's the last time for me.

[@DJUwU]

I'm a perpetual license owner...and I have to say...I agree with you for the most part. However...you know you can still upgrade to another Perpetual ProTools plan...if you just want the 2022.4 in perpetual plan! Its just they aren't offering Perpetual plans to anyone who doesn't already own a perpetual plan. With that being said...AVID has really dropped the ball...and I see no reason to upgrade to the 2022.4 since I already use AKAI for drum grooves...and I have lots of Synths...so I don't need whatever basic synth that is. Also...I already know the shortcuts I need to know for my workflow...so having the ability to change that...just doesn't make sense. Anyways...thought I'd let you know they haven't changed anything for Perpetual users!!!

[@DJUwU]

In fact...they are offering a $100 sale for upgrading to 2022.4 Perpetual if you already own a ProTools perpetual license! Thats why I'm on this video lol...to see if its worth the upgrade. For me...since I already have 3rd party plugins (like most people)...I see no reason to upgrade!

[@TavaresProject]

I finally had to give up on pro tools a few years ago when I was having all kinds of issues with CPU spikes and reached out to their customer support and paid $100 for nothing more than frequently asked questions troubleshooting tips. It was embarrassing. The "tech" kept trying to say it was this Plug-In or that plug-in that was causing it. What a waste. I am happily on studio one.

[@PetraKann]

I recall paying quite a bit of cash for an M1 box with protools about 20 years ago. Everything worked fine until Windows upgraded from XP to Vista and then Windows 7. Protools would only work on the original Windows format, so if you upgraded or purchased a new computer with the new version of windows you had to buy a new protools software package. Avid’s arrogance and elitism cost them a lot of customers and market share. Protools was overtaken by many other DAWs. These changes are too late and half measures. Still need to subscribe yearly. I dont understand Avid’s business policy

Like custom shortcuts and customizable colors, the majority of Pro Tools' _"new features"_ are low-hanging fruit, from a programming perspective.

About a week after I took it I realized they took my perpetual away and had to fight to get my license back and give them their garbage sub package back. They tried to pull a fast one on me and I caught them. Read the fine print...you will lose your perpetual.

@@weschilton It's not ending for current customers that already own the perpetual license - it's only ending for new customers who don't already have a perpetual license. I've had a license for years and so I don't count. You're right about new customers though.

[@theshawnfussellband]

@SomebodyPickaName - I stand corrected and owe you an apology. You are correct. After spending a bit of the afternoon trying to find out what happens to my perpetual, it does appear that you'll be able to keep it. They literally took away the version I had and replaced it with Studio. So at least till the end of the year I'm covered. But curious as to if after the 1st year they bump the price up to 300 for the perpetual. Kind of like how they upped the fee from 100 to 200 after the sub service was introduced. We'll see....but yes, you were absolutely right.

Until film an commercial audio moves away from Avid, Avid will never run a consumer friendly business model.

[@DVTOM]

Do these new named version make you subscribe now? I refuse to pay a "monthly fee subscription" for software I have a perpetual license for already. I downloaded the install packages but am not going to install it until i make sure its not just another Avid trick to switch your version to a monthly subscription. They are more and more copying Studio One though in how they name stuff and features showing up.

[@redwithblackstripes]

Considering the target audience someone explains me why in the world would anyone consider the Artist and Studio version over FLstudio, Logic, Ableton, reason, hell freaking garage band? I kind of get it for post production environements even though Studio one, Nuendo or Reaper are really starting to be serious contenders, but for music production its seems like Pro Tools is actually the worst possible choice at this point.

[@elbiso2004]

I know SweetWater is just doing it’s job with a current partner and a lot of people find value in protools … but I would dump avid. That train is on fire and about to de-rail off a cliff.

He said it, everything should not be for sale. Just because you have the information does not mean you should sell it to the highest bidder!

[@lukascuman278]

What are the automation features improved in PT Studio compared to Standard? Nobody has explained that point.

[@scotteglasel6077]

What are the Atmos improvements?

Thank You Logic!

YUP....except for AAF support....I wish Apple would implement that accurately in the next rev.

[@MyBichSustained]

@@davidcottrell1308 I use WAV mainly...only because I can transfer to other recording devices.

[@davidcottrell1308]

@@MyBichSustained yup...but AAF is the preferred format for multichannel Postproduction sessions.

[@MyBichSustained]

@@davidcottrell1308 Never knew that,good to know....I usually transfer to my zoom or tascam DPS...gives me more control that way....I usually master in logic using UAD plug-ins....I don't bounce too much because of my low gig mac....I record it all to my Tascam SD-20m.Got their cd burner and cassette duplicate too.

[@yourzippersuntied]

Avid has been living under a rock, treating things like it's still the early 2000s.

[@JohnGauge790]

They got lazy because of being the “industry standard” for so long. Most other DAWs are miles ahead of PT in creative workflow and instrument sounds. Code is bloated and unreliable/unstable, especially with new releases.

[@jfilbert]

Those freeware-level instruments? They're just trolling us now.

[@lukaradosavljevic5677]

Reaper is way better than pro tools

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

100% brother. I was days going aroundw pro tools trying to justify trying it out. I got the free trial but im going to uninstall it

[@diaadrenaline187]

Dam everyone is just shutting on pro tools on these comments I use Fl Studio and I’m an up and coming producer on my other channel. I’m taking this intro to music recording class this semester. There using only Pro Tools and can help me get avid certified. After seeing the comments my question is what does being acid certified help w and is it even worth leaning on pro tools. I already know how to use Fl Studio!

[@heatlabstudio1]

Let me answer it like this. Your last mistake is your best teacher. Sometimes you have to learn what "not to do."

[@musicsynctank]

Groove Cell has 2 send effects! A REVERB.... and a DELAY!!!! OMG. Take my money, please! Haha

[@heatlabstudio1]

Right, i want all the smoke

[@L3vls]

Yeah I’m about done with avid. Nice vid though Mitch!

[@taha_mirza]

Instead of Pro Tools Flex, it should be "Fool Tools Complex". Tens of articles for the same subject scattered over tens of different links, every article saying different things. I used my forst DAW as Sonar about 20 years ago and Fool Tool still lack thoes features. Just keep paying them 1000s of dollars for their HDX which is now moved to hybird technology (LOL). Hundreds of licenses, perpetual, renewal, plan bla, plan bla and plan bla bla bla. 10 mins to open a big session on 2019 Mac Pro, screen glitches when scrolling in session and low fps on everything including meters. Its DAW for aged old school people, spent 3 years on Fool Tool Ultimate never loved it a single day. Tsted Nuendo and Cubase ended up with a smile on my face every time. Lightning fast, feels like 2022, lightning fast fps on meters and session loading and scrolling, im sure every other DAW is fast, reaper, studio one, logic, etc .. except for "Fool Tools Complex".

[@ZenMountain]

What does forst, thoes, hybird, and tsted even mean?

[@Behnan]

This opens randomly...hearing the sounds of the synths, I thought it was a commercial from 2012

[@JudgeFredd]

Is it M1 native ?

[@theshawnfussellband]

Hell no. They know once they make PT native then you won't need to buy a carbon. I can run buffer sizes of 32 on M1 Max with 30+ tracks going at once and it doesn't even blink. This is a last ditch attempt to get $$$ from people who don't know any better, Reaper and Studio One are the new industry standard. And after what Avid did today, I'll use GarageBand before I give them another dime.

[@ugamer7845]

I tried pro tools...never going back i use studio one, cubase and fl studio all of which are miles better and cost effective.

[@josemanuelconejo1956]

I finally got what I wanted which is surround mixing at a reasonable price. I tried Logic and other DAW’s but I am sticking with my trusty PT. Editing and mixing is faster for me, and I do like to get my sound by recording stuff around, instead of pulling sounds from a library and sounding like everyone. I might be a happy old dinosaur I guess. So, much appreciated update

[@smpmusiclinksstudio2769]

I have a better dinosaur...

[@fatsosb6379]

Mitch like what you do always

[@tonycardona579]

I like the way he conveniently skipped over the prices of the subscriptions to Studio and Flex. $1,000 every year?

[@heatlabstudio1]

frfr not like I was gonna bite but Jeez...let us know

[@andypryce7417]

After 5 months they came out with raised ultimate price and one new feature "custom shortcuts". Lol. Cubase and Nuendo rules.

[@rl2905]

I don't understand the whole track category thing. "Audio track", "Instrument track", "aux track" thing. I've been using Reaper for nearly 10 years now. In Reaper a track is just a track....you just command or control T your new track first and then you can do whatever you want to/with it once it's in your project. Set it mono/stereo/surround, you can set it to send and receive infinite tracks/destinations, and you can put audio, video, MIDI, photos, GIFs all on one track with several different instruments loaded on it if you want, all running at once. The last of which is great for blending sounds together without creating separate tracks for each individual sound element, like a piano with electric keys for example. The more I watch videos of other DAWs, the more I realize how lucky I've been to have avoided this whole landlocked track type system that seems to continuously dominate the DAW industry.

[@jorgelozadamusic]

10 dollars a month for just 32 tracks?? tf are they thinking?? I'm amazed at how they find new ways to charge more money to their costumers for less features!!!

[@ZenMountain]

Use Logic Pro X.

[@weschilton]

Yep.

Just curious... when did Sweetwater start shadow banning? I posted my honest disdain for this "update" about a week ago, as I _thought_ was my right. After 3-4 days though, it mysteriously disappeared from public view... yet I can see it when I'm logged in. Not a good look for you, Sweetwater.
