Pro Tools Software

What does Pro Tools software do?

Pro Tools is designed to be your do-it-all DAW platform for multitrack recording, audio editing and mixing, MIDI production, video post production, and collaboration with artists and producers around the world.

Is Pro Tools a subscription or a one-time purchase?

Avid gives artists and producers three ways to enjoy Pro Tools recording software:

  • Monthly Subscriptions automatically renew every 30 days from the purchase date
  • Yearly Subscriptions automatically renew every 365 days from the purchase date
  • Perpetual Licenses are one-time purchases that don’t expire or renew

How do I upgrade from Pro Tools Artist to Pro Tools Studio or Ultimate?

Sweetwater has teamed up with Avid to draw a line from your current version to where you want to be, whether or not you’re on an active upgrade plan. Check out our Pro Tools Upgrade Finder to learn more.

How much does Pro Tools cost?

Monthly Subscriptions start at $9.99 a month, and you can disable automatic renewal at any point from within your Avid account. This makes Subscriptions a cost-effective way for new users to experience everything Pro Tools has to offer.

Are Pro Tools Academic Licenses available?

Yes. Contact your Sales Engineer for help finding the right multi-seat License for your institution’s size and needs.
