Avid Pro Tools Reviews & Product Details

Pro Tools is an industry standard for recording, mixing, and mastering. I enjoy the vocal clarity Pro Tools provides, as well as the comprehensive mixing tools available for the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pro Tools can be difficult to navigate for an inexperienced user. Tools for editing audio can be challenging to use, negatively affecting an engineer's ability to work quickly. I have also found Pro Tools' production tools to be lackluster, and I favor other DAWs in place of Pro Tools when looking to compose music. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pro tools is the only recording software I use due to how it operates and looks like a mixing desk from the way signal is handeled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. I’ve always been a fan of it, since 2009. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No bin system makes it hard to organize when importing a large number of sound effects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pro Tools is the industry standard for audio post-production. In my opinion, it is the best program for audio editing and mixing. Familiarity with the shortcut keys can transform you into an assistant capable of flying in audio. Nothing is as precise or efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curve; it's a bit difficult to understand, but once it's done, it's great! It is very efficient and has everything you need to produce high-quality recordings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm really a fan of the plugin automation as well as the ability to record and punch in with low latency plugins enabled. I also like the being able to commit tracks whenever I need to save CPU usage or clean up my session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest gripe with Pro Tools revolves around compatibility issues with Microsoft Windows 10 that make themselves apparent ever so often. For example, using a laptop with multiple cores results in random CPU spikes that I have found a temporary solution for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pro Tools has been a staple in the industry for many years and its expected that studios have it available for sessions and users. It makes it easy when I can drop into a different studio and get right to work with something that I'm familiar with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of easy to use composition tools and the limited Sibelius integration when assigning sample libraries to score work and trying to edit parts. The idea is there, but its not fully implemented like it is in other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy UI. Lightning fast workflow capabilities. A plethora of shortcuts and commands to enhance the aforementioned. If I only had to use 1 DAW the rest of my life, it would be this one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MIDI is poorly integrated and seems like an afterthought. It works and gets the job done but is rough along the way. I would never suggest the DAW for a producer who isn’t using a MIDI input device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pro Tools workflow is very fast and effective. Is the most intuitive while also comprehensive DAW that I work with. Nothing is missing or lacking in workflow or tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike. Pro Tools is my constant go-to. I use 3-4 different DAWs for different applications in my work, but if there's one that does it all and I go back to, its Pro Tools. Only gripe is that sometimes it will crash and show error codes that when I google have no known reasons or solutions. I mostly solve it through trial and error on my own or find workarounds.

Pro Tools is very quick for editing audio and the industry standard found in every studio for a reason. It works for audio recording and editing and mixing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the software for writing music and programming MIDI. Sequencing can take a long time in the software and is not as intuitive as it is in other softwares such as Logic Pro X, Cubase Pro 10, or Ableton Live. Additionally, the routing features aren't as advanced as Cubase's or Logic's and can be a bit clunky with some things such as batch exporting stems or multitracks.

Pro Tools has a very simple unadorned and easy to use layout for most mixing tasks. It’s onboard time stretch, x-form seems to create less audio artifacts than other DAW’s native time stretch. It’s also really intuitive to navigate around in, which allows for quick workflow. Also the Tab to Transient feature is so helpful and is much needed in other daws.

It takes an inordinate amount of time to load. Sometimes it has taken a whole hour to load. A whole hour. I removed all my plugins from its folders so they don’t slow it down and it still takes like 10 minutes. I’m also not a fan of it’s subscription model. It’s really designed to keep leaching off artists and creators of their limited funds when all that is updated for our continued payment is like, what making sure it’s compatible with the newest OS? Lame. The single time buy should really cover these updates, is it really that hard to make sure your program still works with a new OS? Is it really worth our continued money from now till kingdom come.Pro Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
