Pro Tools 2019 delivers more power

Regular feature-rich releases deliver value throughout the year
Avid delivers regular, meaningful Pro Tools updates to customers on active plans and subscriptions throughout the year. As they innovate new solutions, they deliver them, and Pro Tools 2019 is an example of this. Customers don’t have to wait for infrequent, monolithic releases.
Create more fluidly during playback
With the latest version of Pro Tools, you can now interact with and make updates to tracks and timeline selections during playback without interruption. Freely experiment with different effects, presets, loop points, and more as your music plays on, keeping you in your creative groove.

Double your MIDI track count

Name tracks faster
Pro Tools now lets you name new tracks as you create them, providing a new “Name” field in the New Track dialog. This makes it faster and easier to name multiple new tracks in one fell swoop.
