"The Universal Key to all Digital Sonic Production"

What do you like best?

Growing up in the age of the tape recorder, Pro Tools frees me to create sonically in ways I never imagined as a kid. The best part is that the more you use it, the more you LEARN to do with it, and that phenomenon has yet to stop happening for me. I'm forever finding ways to improve both my creativity and my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

The cost, and the tiers of functionality, some of which I feel should be open more universally. Like I would love it if there was SOME kind of "Loyalty Reward" as I've been buying and leasing this software for literally decades. It would also be great to get a more economical deal on media composer as a pro tools user. Like maybe AVID could adopt a model more like adobe, an affordable one size fits all "everything Avid" deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

It's the gold standard and universal language for audio production in the broadcast, entertainment and music industry. If you're serious about sound, it's a must-have, in my opinion and experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

It allows me to create an effectively endless audio landscape as required for any project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for professional studios who need zero-lag monitoring for demanding musicians."

What do you like best?

Pro Tools has always dominated the professional recording market with its historic reliance on the use of proprietary DSP hardware. This fact makes a good Pro Tools set-up incredibly robust and reliable when in the toughest of recording situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

Pro Tools has always been behind with the times with regard to basic features that have been standard on every single other DAW on the market for around 8-10 years. these drawbacks and extreme price point has shown that it should only ever be used in high budget recording studios. It has since redeemed itself on the price point side of things by moving to a subscription model of payment but is still lacking in terms of features and plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would recommend Pro Tools to any professional recording studio that currently isn't using the software. Despite its deficiencies it still remains the industry standard for any studio, meaning that projects can be more widely shared and edited.

If you are a home studio musician who is only likely to record one input at a time such as vocals or guitar I would definitely not recommend this DAW. It's great that it now uses a subscription model to pay for its use but the features are still completely lacking against ANY other modern DAW, known or unknown.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The best scenario for using a Pro Tools HD setup is when recording multi-tracked drums. A DSP accelerated studio can process multiple tracks at once, feeding these into the headphone mix of the musician. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
