The Pro Tools TDM mix engine, supported until 2011 with version 10, employed 24-bit fixed-point arithmetic for plug-in processing and 48-bit for mixing. It features time code, tempo maps, elastic audio, and automation supports mixing in surround sound, Dolby Atmos and VR sound using Ambisonics.

Pro Tools has incorporated video editing capabilities, so users can import and manipulate high-definition video file formats such as XDCAM, MJPG-A, PhotoJPG, DV25, QuickTime, and more. The legacy SDII format was dropped with Pro Tools 10, although SDII conversion is still possible on macOS. It imports and exports MOV video files and ADM BWF files (audio files with Dolby Atmos metadata) it also imports MXF, ACID and REX files and the lossy formats MP3, AAC, M4A, and audio from video files ( MOV, MP4, M4V). Pro Tools supports mixed bit depths and audio formats in a session: BWF/ WAV (including WAVE Extensible, RF64 and BW64) and AIFF. 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit float audio bit depths at sample rates up to 192 kHz are supported. Audio effects, virtual instruments, and hardware emulators-such as microphone preamps or guitar amplifiers-can be added, adjusted, and processed in real-time in a virtual mixer. Like all digital audio workstation software, Pro Tools can perform the functions of a multitrack tape recorder and a mixing console along with additional features that can only be performed in the digital domain, such as non-linear and non-destructive editing (most of audio handling is done without overwriting the source files), track compositing with multiple playlists, time compression and expansion, pitch shifting, and faster-than-real-time mixdown.Īudio, MIDI, and video tracks are graphically represented on a timeline. The DSP is used to provide additional processing power to the host computer for processing real-time effects, such as reverb, equalization, and compression and to obtain lower latency audio performance. Pro Tools operates both as standalone software and in conjunction with a range of external analog-to-digital converters and PCIe cards with on-board digital signal processors (DSP).

It is used for music creation and production, sound for picture ( sound design, audio post-production and mixing) and, more generally, sound recording, editing, and mastering processes. Pro Tools is a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed and released by Avid Technology (formerly Digidesign) for Microsoft Windows and macOS.
