Pro Tools Erfahrungen

Pro Tools, as a mixer, recorder, production application is top notch. It set the bar for every other DAW and none have really matched its high standards. There's a reason so many professional studios use it.

Where Pro Tools falls flat on its face is in Avid's business practices, as well as in Pro Tools ridiculous system requirements. I purchased Pro Tools, in different iterations, from 2001-2017. After that, Avid no longer offered a perpetual license, and went to a subscription format. I refuse to "rent" software. My latest version of Pro Tools also became very sluggish on my computer. This was a higher end Mac that was perfectly capable of running multiple layers of 4K video in Final Cut. But you're telling me it can no longer run Pro Tools? No thanks.

Its prevalence in studios, its approach to mixing, and its careful, thoughtful, and considered approach to updates. The new features that are added may be added slowly and sparsely, but the program’s lack of prevalent bugs is unparalleled.

My only dislike is tied to its strength in mixing and tracking. It is not a DAW that lends itself effortlessly to the initial production of a song, but once it is time to record the vocal and mix the song, it is fantastic. They obviously prioritize this as it is what it’s user base wants. The catch is that you may find yourself making a beat in one program and then mixing it (or in my case, sending it to a mixer) with Pro Tools.

As a Pro Tools user of more than 15 years, there are a lot of things I love about Pro Tools! It continues to be the go to software for audio recording, editing and mixing in recording studios across the globe. While I won't necessarily say that it's the best DAW for creating music (that is up to your taste and style), I will say that for the processes mentioned above, it continues to be the most thorough and in depth software for audio. While it does have a decently high learning curve, it's precisely this features, short cuts and processes that make it such a thorough program that allows the user to take total control of their work. For this reason it's all the features that I would say is my favorite thing about Pro Tools.

While there is a well known laundry list of bugs and issues with Pro Tools, to me the pros outweigh the cons. The main problem with Pro Tools does continue to be the often buggy nature of the software, which often crashes unless you have the most updated software and fastest computer available. If you aren't running the best computer system ever, you'll be sure to encounter some of these bugs, and there's a good chance you'll still run into them even if you have the top of the line Mac. Also I'd highly suggest using Pro Tools with a Mac and not a PC, as with a PC these issues may be even more elevated. The other thing I would say I don't like about Pro Tools is their subscription service. While the price has come down recently, I always preferred buying the software outright rather than having to pay monthly.

Very accurate for editing. Best sound processing, all the tools you need to deliver a professional audio media are included in the subscription.

Requires a lot of memory installed on your system, but once it's ok, it will be running pretty well.

Pro Tools is a true professional level DAW that offers an incredible array of features and flexibility in addition to it being an industry standard. The recording and especially the editing capabilities are incredible. Detailed editing and comping is the most accurate of any DAW that I've worked with. The built in free plugins are also great and worthy of use in real production situations.

It has a decent learning curve compared to other DAW's. It's not technically harder, just a bit more confusing to learn. Once you know key commands and your way around the signal flow, it's just as easy as the others from then on. The midi capabilities are a bit challenging compared to DAW's like Logic Pro as Pro Tools is geared more towards tracking live instruments than writing with software instruments. It's also much more expensive and the new subscription platform makes it even more expensive.

ProTools earned the reputation of being the best DAW for a reason in the 90s and 2000s, and it’s still one of the best. A good layout, great features and shortcuts, and it lets you do all you need once you put in the time to learn it. If you’re in or working with the music industry, it’s still the standard in many pro studios, but that only matters if you’re moving files back and forth a lot.

The rise of faster computers and home studios has given rise to other great DAWs that are functionally quite good and comparably feature wise. The biggest downside to protools currently is the price, especially now that they’ve moved to the subscription model, but if you know the layout and shortcuts, it’s hard to make the case to go with something else.

All the editing features, for example the implementation of the multi tool, the four modes for the edit view (slip, shuffle, grid/relativegrid, spot), etc. If you know your shortcuts (and if you don´t...YOU SHOULD), editing work is fast as lightning speed.
Nowadays working online, collab & travelling for different proyects is pretty common. You're likely to receive PT sessions from everyone.
If you are thinking of working in the audio industry you'll find out every facility has at least one Pro Tools rig.
There is no Pro facility not using Pro Tools since for ever. There is a reason why, join in and find out!

Theres a lot of features I don´t like from Pro Tools.
First of all MIDI. Come on guys, 2021...look to your sides. I would suggest midi bridge implementation between DAWs like CUBASE or Logic insturment tracks into PT instrument tracks (not gonna see it in my lifetime). That would be a game changer!!
The second most tedious feature I absolutley hate is delay compensation. Awful implementation. It took 10 versions of PT to work it out. And if the hardware is not powerfull enough, you´ll be struggling a lot with parallel processing using really heavy cpu plugins. Let´s say in 2021 computing got enough power to make it work. But try automating Objects in real time in a dolby atmos mix with 100+ ch.

Pro Tools's layout is easy on the eyes, with quick access to inserts and sends on the tracks in the Edit Window. The Mix Window shows all the faders and panners you need. Pro Tools is rock-solid performance-wise and many tests have proven it to be the most accurate DAW as far as its math engine goes. Its included plugins are among the best in the industry.

Pro Tools shows is one of the earliest DAWs and it really feels like it often when trying to do simple mixing/organising actions. Things like creating group and FX busses require multiple steps that most modern DAWs accomplish with a simple right-click. Solo'ing is frustrating, with the need to "solo-safe" grouped tracks, or even add a VCA fader to groups, just to be able to solo groups or individual tracks the way one would expect from a mixing console.

It is a professional digital audio recorder, it has many points in its favor and I think one of them is its versatility when recording and finding different types of commands, I think it makes it easy for you to find everything, it also comes with some extra products. such as built-in plugins and some manuals.

I do not have many cons about this program, as I said before I think it is quite complete, the only thing I think is that sometimes it is difficult to learn when you start with a new DAW but the truth is quite good.
