The Avid Pro Tools Studio Perpetual Upgrade is the core of a complete music production system, providing you with a customizable, end-to-end environment for every stage of creation. This update requires a preexisting perpetual license, and can be used on active or expired licenses. Not designed for subscriptions. Avid’s Studio Perpetual Upgrade provides customers with one year of product updates and Standard support. This upgrade also includes Avid’s Complete Plugin Bundle with 117 plugins, Heat, Melodyne 5 essential, Soundflow Cloud Avid Edition, Pro Tools | Sonic Drop monthly content releases, and Pro Tools | Inner Circle quarterly rewards. Perpetual Upgrade is for both renewals and expired customers, and is exempt from Avid’s Reinstatement Policy.

From non-linear clip launching to world-class editing and mixing, tackle your most ambitious visions with advanced features that power you through the most demanding projects. Bring ideas to life with powerful real-time MIDI tools and a massive collection of instruments, effects, and sounds. Capture performances in pristine 32-bit audio for high dynamic range recording. And mix stereo and spatial audio projects with fully automated ease. When you need to sound your best, nothing delivers like Pro Tools.

Capture and play with ideas anywhere that inspiration strikes with Pro Tools Sketch, an expansion of Pro Tools' workflow also available as a free iPad app. Start with non-linear, clip-based Sketches in which loops, MIDI and recordings can be freely organized and played and then exported to be shared with friends. A common language across audio: take your project from iPad to bedroom to any studio around the world and collaborate with artists everywhere. Record performances with incredible depth, dimension, and dynamic range with the 32-bit audio engine delivering unrivaled sound quality. Experiment, shape, and fine-tune MIDI and audio performances on the fly without stopping playback. Start creating right away with a massive collection of plugins, instruments, loops, and samples—plus, get new plugins and sound content every month with Inner Circle rewards and the Sonic Drop. Immerse your audience in sound with powerful spatial audio mixing tools to create Dolby Atmos music and work with Ambisonics.
