Fix timing and pitch with Elastic Audio
Easily tighten up and perfect performances without impacting your original sound. With Elastic Time, you can switch the entire session tempo, change a track’s timing to sit “in the pocket,” or beat-match audio for remixing—without affecting the pitch. Plus, make bad notes sound pitch-perfect or completely warp a track’s tuning to create something unique with Elastic Pitch.
Comp together a perfect performance
Easily comp together multiple takes of a recording to create a single flawless performance. Select portions of a performance and easily cycle through alternative takes.

Bring your mix to life
From professional-quality plugins and advanced metering, to the best mixing automation in the industry, you have the award-winning sounds and control you need to create and deliver your best mixes. Whether working in stereo, 5.1 surround, or Dolby Atmos, Pro Tools makes the entire experience easy.
Automate anything
Automate volumes, pans, plugin settings, and more to create balanced mixes quickly. Isolate instruments. Punch up sounds. Create and alter effects. Add movement. Then, change up dynamics and intensity to bring everything together. It’s the easiest, most creative way to handle big complex mixes, without requiring manual performance.
Mix creatively and fluidly during playback
With non-stop production, you can stay in your creative groove. Create and delete tracks, add and change plugins, switch presets, adjust loop points and more as your music plays. Freely experiment with 115 different plugins, including emulations of classic hardware EQs, dynamics, and reverb units, without interruption.
Freeze tracks to optimize playback
Mix plugin-heavy sessions with ease. Track Freeze lets you temporarily render all plugin processing on a track with a click of a button to free up CPU power, providing smoother playback for writing and editing automation. It also enables cloud collaborators to hear your mix the way you intend it, without the same plugins. You can then unfreeze tracks to make changes.

Collaborate with video teams
Pro Tools makes it easy to import and conform sequences from video editorial for audio post production. It supports 4K/UHD and other video formats natively, enabling you to start working your audio magic without editors needing to transcode video first. You can also quickly exchange mixes between audio and video teams as AAF files.
