REQ: Avid Pro Tools Ultimate 2019.12 Win/Mac

Pro Tools is the industry-standard software production platform; however, if you want to use what major recording studios and broadcast-grade video post-production houses are using, you need to step to Pro Tools | Ultimate. In addition to the standard Pro Tools features, you get 256 audio tracks, as well as 7.1 surround, Atmos, and Ambisonics support, access to exclusive plug-ins such as HEAT, advanced editing functions, superior delay compensation, and expanded video implementation. In addition to that, you get support for advanced S6 features like waveform views, breakpoint automation views, and higher-level automation features. Pro Tools | Ultimate is the most state-of-the-art professional recording system on the planet

Create with an amazing collection of powerful 64-bit AAX plug-ins
The Avid Complete Plug-in Bundle is now included in all active Pro Tools 1-year Software Updates + Support Plans as well as subscription licenses. This bundle includes every audio plug-in that Avid has to offer — classic compressors and EQs, studio effects, stompboxes, reverbs, guitar amps, and more. If you work in the box, you need a collection of top-shelf plug-ins. And with the Avid Complete Plug-in Bundle, you'll have every tool you need. They're a must-have for Pro Tools users.

Integrated mixing and editing power that goes way deeper than plug-ins
As wonderful as AAX plug-ins are, they only scratch the surface of what Pro Tools | Ultimate has to offer. Much of its real production power is built into the environment itself. Flexible functions such as Avid's multitrack Beat Detective and Elastic Audio let you fix timing issues across your entire mix. Automatic delay compensation ensures that your mix remains intact, even when you pile on the plug-ins. What's more, AAX plug-ins allow you to take projects back and forth between your Pro Tools | Ultimate system and standard Pro Tools systems, so collaborating with smaller studios is easy. Track compositing functions also let you quickly merge multiple takes into a single flawless performance. Full support for Artist Series and other EUCON-equipped control surfaces lets you take total command of Pro Tools | Ultimate beyond the capabilities of HUI-based controllers. And thanks to Pro Tools | Ultimate's faster-than-real-time offline bounce functions, mixing down stems and freeing up processor power is extremely simple.

Music production, broadcast, video post, and beyond
The power of Pro Tools | Ultimate extends far beyond the realm of music production, making it a favorite for video post and broadcast professionals around the world. With software-spanning interchange options such as OMF/AAF/MXF interchange, Clip Gain metadata support, and a Unified Video Engine that can play most common HD video formats without the need for transcoding, integrating your Pro Tools | Ultimate rig with Avid Media Composer is a snap. And with native support for 7.1 surround, Atmos, and Ambisonics, Pro Tools | Ultimate is able to tackle video game design, VR audio, and even full theatrical mixes completely in the box — no console required.

In-the-box dubber workflows (HDX systems only)
Use Pro Tools | Ultimate in any punch mode (Quick punch, Track punch, or Destructive punch), and it will now calibrate and time-align your stems, eliminating latency and audio artifacts when punching in and out of cascaded tracks. This affects both the actual recording and what you hear in real time. Now you can achieve click-free sound, completing all single-system post re-recorder workflows in the box!

Boost your productivity with clip-based effects
Apply nondestructive EQ, filtering, and dynamics processing to a clip without affecting the entire track — in real time! Select a single clip or group of clips on your timeline and tweak them to perfection using Avid's powerful Channel Strip plug-in (based on the Euphonix System 5 console). With clip-based effects, you can create more consistency when working with multiple clips of related audio without resorting to rendered AudioSuite processing. Post-production engineers will quickly find this function indispensable when they're working with dialogue or voice-overs.

Connect and collaborate with other musicians and audio pros
With Avid Cloud Collaboration, you can connect and collaborate with other musicians, producers, engineers, and mixers, giving you access to the right tools, workflows, and connections you need to make your work stand apart from the crowd. It doesn't matter where you and your collaborators are — it's like working together in the same studio! On top of that, the Avid Marketplace and Artist Community connect you with the largest network of media professionals to help you share, promote, and sell your work.
