Somewhere for happy accidents to occur! A place to combine loops and samples and MIDI and effects in a musical context, without needing to commit to an idea until it feels formed. A sandbox and some toys to allow for immediate and non-linear experimentation. The Edit and the Mix windows are getting a new companion! But we were, admittedly, missing one important piece of the ‘complete’ workflow-the one that’s required for creating music and sound and ideas from scratch. And while the Pro Tools application is incredibly deep with lots of hidden power features, watching an experienced Pro Tools jockey operate is akin to watching a world-class ballet! Recording, editing, mixing, and arranging in Pro Tools is immediate and limitless once you know how to harness the tools. Pro Tools is, in my biased opinion, the most full-featured audio editor on the market. I code-named this effort, ‘SOPHIE’, after Sophie Xeon (SeptemJanuary 30, 2021), whose clever and inspirational use (and misuse) of music making tools and process led them to the creation of entirely new and exciting sub-genres of pop and dance music! Having followed SOPHIE’s career, I knew their unusual approach to sonics and creation positioned them as the perfect north star to navigate this journey! A PLAYGROUND FOR IDEATION When choosing a code-name for this project, I instantly knew the artist I wanted to honor (and channel). CODENAME: SOPHIEĮvery project needs a code-name, and code-names for audio projects at Avid are often chosen from the names or monikers of famous musicians we have lost-a tradition that started back in the days of Digidesign when I first joined the team. Part of the Pro Tools 2023.9 software release, Sketch is a major expansion to the Pro Tools music creation workflow, making it easy for you to experiment with loops and arrangements in totally new ways, while still having access to the world-class recording, editing and mixing tools that Pro Tools is known for. Capture and play with ideas anywhere inspiration strikes with Pro Tools Sketch, a new non-linear, clip-based creation window in Pro Tools that’s also available as a free iPad app.
