We'll learn how to properly import and manage audio in Pro Tools. This week we'll dive into the world of audio.We'll also learn how to manipulate and automate MIDI.

It comes with the Xpand!2 music synthesizer, MIDI editor, and over 20 effects, sound processors, and utility plug-ins like EQ III and Dynamics III, D-Verb and Mod Delay III. The free software offers virtual instruments as well, and you can purchase additional plugins from the Avid Marketplace. You can record instruments through an audio interface, using up to four inputs at once, with up to 16 audio tracks total. The Pro Tools First software offers all the tools you need to record, edit, mix, compose, and export your music.
The free version is pretty close to the paid version in a lot of ways. When Avid announced the upcoming release of Pro Tools 12 earlier this year, they also revealed plans to release a free version of Pro Tools 12 called Pro Tools First.Ĭonsidering the fact that Pro Tools costs $700 to purchase the full version, being able to get access to a free version is going to be a pretty big deal for a lot people that can’t afford to spend that much for music software.īut the big question is how does the free version differ from the paid software?įortunately the free version isn’t crippled by a major lack of features, an inability to export a finished project, a free trail, or other bait-and-trick nonsense like that.
