Avid Pro Tools Studio makes music creation easy and fun for beginners and seasoned pros alike — it’s the same DAW software used by major recording studios and broadcast-grade video post houses, but scaled down for music production. This Pro Tools Studio subscription arms you with everything you need to design, edit, and mix music, including surround and immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos and Ambisonics. You get powerful real-time MIDI tools, plus an ample cache of instruments, effects, and sounds. Your projects will benefit from a 32-bit audio engine, yielding unrivaled depth, dimension, and dynamic range. You also get tight integration with Avid audio interfaces and surfaces that offers DSP acceleration for near-zero latency and unmatched hands-on control. Beyond that, a subscription to Pro Tools Studio comes with Avid’s Complete Bundle, plus a full year of software updates and Standard support. When you need to sound your best, nothing delivers like Pro Tools Studio.

Note: This product requires that you have an iLok account for authorization, although it does not require a physical iLok key.
