Pro Tools is always getting better with new features and included gifts from our partners. And with an active plan, you get them as soon as we release them. Take a look below to see what's new. PRO TOOLS 2021.6 (JUNE 2021) Turbocharge HDX Systems with the Hybrid Engine. Work with M1-based Macs running macOS Big Sur. Create with more voices, tracks, and I/O. Customize Dark and Classic UI themes. And, if you're an annual subscriber, fuel your creativity with over $1,500 in plugins, sounds, and training content, FREE with the new Pro Tools Inner Circle program. The latest version of Pro Tools brings you all this and more. Bring more power to HDX with the Hybrid Engine The Hybrid Engine transforms HDX Systems into the most powerful Pro Tools systems we’ve ever made. This patented technology maximizes the performance of Pro Tools by using native and DSP processing more harmoniously. With a massive 2,048 voices in Pro Tools | Ultimate and immediate access to HDX’s onboard DSP, you can run bigger sessions more smoothly—even with one-card systems. And with the ability to toggle between Native and DSP modes on a track-by-track basis, you can nullify the distracting effects of latency simply by clicking a button. Pro Tools adds support for M1 Macs With the June 2021 release, you can now run Pro Tools | First, Pro Tools, and Pro Tools | Ultimate as well as Pro Tools | Carbon systems on the latest Macs that use Apple’s new M1 silicon processors. *Before installing Pro Tools on an M1 Mac, please visit our compatibility page and our dedicated Pro Tools macOS Big Sur support page to ensure that your system and workflow are fully supported. Record and mix bigger sessions with more I/O, tracks, and voices Pro Tools and Pro Tools | Ultimate now support a maximum 64 channels of I/O—up from 32. Pro Tools now supports a maximum 256 mono or stereo audio tracks at all sample rates—up from 128 at 48 kHz. And Pro Tools | Ultimate now supports a maximum 2,048 voices and audio tracks at all sample rates—5x more than previous versions. This means you can track bigger sessions and work with a lot more outboard gear using any Core Audio or ASIO interface. And with more voices, you can handle the largest sessions without constraint. Customize the Dark and Classic UI themes Get an unprecedented level of control over the look and feel of Pro Tools. You can now change the brightness and saturation of almost every aspect of the user interface. Save your favorite settings as presets and switch between them at any time. Plus, you can now toggle between the Dark and Classic UI themes dynamically, without having to restart Pro Tools. QuickTime and file support improvements (Pro Tools | Ultimate only) Pro Tools 2021.6 adds important functionality to the Bounce Mix window, including same as source video export, AAC audio export up to 7.1, as well as the ability to import, play, and export H.265/HEVC video in Pro Tools | Ultimate. Get Automatic Delay Compensation on side chains Side-chaining lets you use an external signal to trigger dynamics, EQ, or other effects on a track. From compressing a bass to cut through each time the kick drum hits and creating classic EDM pumping effects, to auto-ducking a music bed when it interferes with dialogue, it’s a technique producers use to dial in the perfect mix. And now Pro Tools will apply the correct amount of delay compensation when side-chaining tracks to keep the timing in perfect sync—a feature previously only available for Pro Tools | HDX.
