Parfait pour de l'éditant, du mixage ou du mastering. Cons Les fonctionnalités midi ont toujours été à la traine. Le format de plug-in propriétaire. La politique commerciale d' Avid qui est insupportable tant il faut remettre la main à la poche constamment. Beaucoup de pros quittent ce logiciel pour d'autres...

November 13, 2022 5.0 It is very Stable ,always current and updated compatibility , Performance and UI customization Pros Application and user interface customization (performance, function and appearance). Broad audio format compatibility; simplicity in integrating audio of many formats and sampling rates; and similar simplicity in exporting. widest range of hardware compatibility Hardware has a longer useful life when performance settings may be adjusted. Cons Virtual instrument user interfaces are awkward and difficult to use. Subfolder labels should be automatically updated by Rename/Move session activities. Better, more focused in-app access and guidance for the numerous scripts and shortcuts already included in PT.

Cons Hard to learn, User-Interface is not user-friendly, sometimes when you get an error you need to find the solution, but sometimes you don't even find solution to your problem, pro tools is also resource intensive Review Source PD Pressilla D. Insurance Broker Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Makes Recording Easy" December 27, 2020 5.0 Program was great and the quality files produced were amazing. If it wasn't so expensive, I would have been thrilled to keep it. I would recommend it for engineers or music creators who spend a lot more time recording vocals because it has tons of features that will delight creativity. It always ran smoothly on my laptop or desktop computer and was easily accessible for me. Pros I love that they upgraded the free version to allow collaboration. It's great that you can also purchase more storage by paying a monthly fee currently at a flat rate. The features are pretty much self-explanatory "solo", "mono", "add track" etc. which makes it easy for a beginner to use. It includes many features to mix and fine tune your recordings- making the sound clear and of great quality. Stability of the program is widely known and most of the people I collaborated with already used the software. Great for recording voice overs, songs and other materials. Import audio features uses many formats including mp3 which makes it easy to use different files as a part of my projects. Very flexible with the ability to choose your bit depth and sample rate. Easy to bounce and save your sessions in the cloud or on other devices. Cons Free version limits the number of tracks that you can save and sync. Standard version has an expensive upfront cost which is not great for smaller businesses with less employees. Plus you have to continue to pay a yearly upgrade amount to get access to your files after the first year. Without the upgrade, the quality decreases overtime as it will impact the software capabilities.

Pros It is one of the easiest and most interactive software on the market. Makes everyday work easier. Cons It does not have an automatic save at each user action. Review Source DC Daniella C. Freelancer Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pro Tools for a freelancer" July 10, 2022 4.0 This program is overall the easiest sound editing program I have used. Everything is able to be organized really specifically, which is helpful when dealing with various audio files. Pros The most impactful features are recording within the program for dubbing. The plug-ins are the most difficult to use and understand. This is an amazing platform to be able the sound edit. Cons Ability to zoom in on a video within Pro Tools to be able to analyze the videos being sound edited.

Da quando ho iniziato ad utilizzarlo (di recente), sono rimasto immediatamente impressionato dalla sua potenza e versatilità. L'interfaccia riesce a rimanere accessibile consentendo un flusso di lavoro fluido ed efficiente. Il fatto che sia ampiamente supportato dalla comunità professionale significa che posso facilmente condividere progetti e collaborare con altri musicisti e produttori. Anche se sto ancora imparando tutte le sue funzionalità, posso già dire con certezza che Pro Tools è uno strumento indispensabile per chiunque voglia fare musica sul serio. È una risorsa incredibilmente potente che consiglio vivamente a tutti i produttori, sia alle prime armi che agli esperti, di aggiungere al loro arsenale. Cons Nonostante le sue indiscusse qualità, Pro Tools ha anche alcuni aspetti che potrebbero essere considerati meno positivi. Ad esempio, il costo può essere una barriera per alcuni utenti, specialmente per chi è alle prime armi e potrebbe non essere ancora pronto a investire una somma considerevole in un software professionale.

It is a great program overall. Pros I like how they make it easy to use other companies products inside their own. They are the industry leader in using and promoting plug ins. Cons It is expensive and you don't get anywhere near the factory choices as Logiclet alone an affordable license that leasts for years.

Une sortie audio parfaite. Cons Une prise en main qui mérite d'être accompagner pour prendre du plaisir plus rapidement et laisser libre court à sa créativité. Le prix est toujours élevé pour ce type de logiciel mais il reste raisonnable par rapport à la concurrence. Review Source LL Luigi L.

Su interfaz se me asemeja bastante a Adobe Audition lo que facilita en gran parte su manejo. Su calidad de sonido de los plugins es muy buena. Cons No tiene tanta comunidad detrás como otros softwares de la competencia. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Handy!" June 14, 2022 4.0 One stop shop for almost everything. It doesn't substitute your hardware Pultec, but do you really need that? You can do more than plenty with basic tools.. Pros Quick, easy, does anything you might reasonably want to, and does that for a budget too. Cons It doesn't go as deep into some features(recording, effects, conversion..) as more niche software and hardware, but you can't really complain.

Audio Engineer/Instructor/Composer Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pro Tools Review" January 20, 2021 5.0 Post-production; mixing & mastering, audio editing Pros As a professional engineer with over 20+ years of experience, ProTools has been one of the most indispensable products in my arsenal. The ease of use, for so many different genres & platforms; its ability to be integrated with other software & mediums makes this my number one choice of DAW's in the world. Well done AVID!! Cons Some of the stock plugins could be improved, which is no big deal with the integration of 3rd party plug-ins. It took a while for me to learn initially, but became easier as I became more accustomed to it. Review Source NL Nick L. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pro is the right name" December 30, 2020 5.0 I've been a daily user for over 15 years and it's been rock solid when system requirements are observed. Pros What can I say about the most industry-standard DAW on the market. If you want to work in a studio you'll need to know Pro Tools. It does everything I need and more. Cons In the past, it has been rather difficult to make sure you have a compatible system. Recently, it hasn't been much of an issue.

Pro Tools is very good, but for a fraction of the cost you can get very similar capabilities and it’s equally industry accepted. Pros Feature heavy! You can do anything with Pro Tools Cons It was very expensive and difficult to manage the licensing and different versions. Getting plugins to work correctly wasn’t always easy. Review Source JA Julia A. Piano Teacher Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Pro Tools for Piano Recording" September 22, 2022 5.0 I've used Pro Tools to record and edit audio tracks and CDs of my music, and it is the best software for this purpose. Pros This software is amazing! I have used it to record piano via midi, as well as voice, guitar, and violin through a microphone. I have mine set up for dual recording, so I can record two instruments at once. It is great for duets. The sound is crystal clear, and the interface for editing the music after recording is very thorough with many options to work with. Cons The only downside with this software is that it takes a bit of time to learn how to use, but I don't know if I'd really call that a downside. There are so many options, it can feel a little overwhelming to start, but once I got the hang of it, I was very grateful for all the many options. There are several YouTube videos explaining different functionalities, which I found helpful while learning.

You don't necessarily need to spend more money on third party plugins like waves bundle etc unless you so wish. Cons The full functionality take time to get used to.
