Avid Pro Tools Studio - EDU Annual Subscription

This educational licence grants students and teachers full access to Pro Tools Studio for 1 year. It can then be renewed. A great option for short-term use at a low cost. It also includes 12 months of AVID’s Support and Updates plan. This means that for a full year after activating your software, you’ll have access to support directly from AVID, and will be able to upgrade to the latest versions via download as soon as they are released.

Get everything you need to make beats, write songs, record vocals and instruments, and mix studio-quality music that’s ready to be heard across the world’s most popular streaming platforms. Pro Tools makes music creation fast and fluid, providing the GRAMMY® winning toolset and plugins the pros use to create your favourite songs and albums.

PRO TOOLS STUDIO

Pro Tools Studio enables serious music creators, producers, and engineers to easily create and mix large projects. Pro Tools Studio builds on the current Pro Tools offering with numerous enhancements like increased track counts, surround and Dolby Atmos® mixing and advanced automation features (both previously only available in Pro Tools Ultimate), and more.

• Create huge mixes with up to 512 audio tracks (increasing from 256 to 512)
• Surround and Dolby Atmos® mixing (previously only in Pro Tools Ultimate)
• Advanced automation and Clip Effects editing (previously only with Pro Tools Ultimate)
• New Pro Tools | GrooveCell and Pro Tools | SynthCell virtual instruments

NEW VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS

Pro Tools | GrooveCell is a new virtual drum machine and sequencer that makes it easy to create intricate beats and drum patterns in Pro Tools. Designed for quick workflows and inspiration generation, it’s built for serious creators who want total creative control over their grooves. Centered around a classic 16-pad layout, Pro Tools | GrooveCell has all the parameters you need to tweak single samples or a whole kit at once. You can use the included sounds and presets or build custom drumkits by dragging and dropping your own samples onto the drumpads (MP3, .WAV, or .AIFF). Layer up to three samples per pad, and control the pitch, envelope, EQ, distortion, and more, and add distinct flavour with texture emulations of the legendary E-mu SP-1200, Korg Super Percussion, and more in the Drum Mode menu. Plus, shape your sounds further with creative Drive and Dynamics presets.

Pro Tools | SynthCell is a modern virtual synth that enables a wide palette of sounds in Pro Tools—from old-school familiar to the truly unique. Sporting two oscillators, two multi-mode filters, an LFO, envelopes, an arpeggiator, and a variety of effects, you can start sculpting your own sounds from scratch, building from a sine wave on up. Or cruise through the library of presets and instantly find something organic, distorted, smooth, chaotic, analog, and more, without ever touching a knob.

Both of these powerful new virtual instruments are included with all current Pro Tools software licenses.

SOUNDFLOW

SoundFlow is a state-of-the-art workflow automation platform that enables Pro Tools users to reduce complex, many-step tasks to single keystrokes or presses on a touch surface. SoundFlow Cloud Avid Edition is included with all annual Pro Tools Flex subscriptions, providing access to over 1,600 prebuilt macros and commands for Pro Tools that can be custom assigned and triggered by keyboard shortcuts, MIDI controllers, and HID devices. Whether bouncing stems, navigating plugins in large sessions, or triggering complex workflows, SoundFlow saves users significant time and enables them to stay in their creative flow.
