Useful features and tools within Pro Tools Pro Tools is a sound recording software package created by a company called Avid. It has many useful features which enable the construction and processing of audio and video projects. .

Clipboard One feature I have discovered to be helpful while dealing with large amounts of media is “clipboard” which appears to the right of the software main screen. This allows you to view any files in use and audio files available. It also allows you to view any section of the audio file which has been extracted from another larger file.

Quick Keys For Main Protools Windows Another feature which I find helpful is the quick key commands between the main windows(command-=) another example is (command-B) which allows you to cut the audio file at a point of your choice.

Multi Tool The multi tool feature is extremely useful, this allows the tool box to automatically select the desired tool based on where your scrolling within the audio being edited. By selecting editing is made easier by avoiding repeated visits to the tool box.

Tapping The Transient This feature automatically finds “nodes” in the audio (Good editing points), allowing quicker processing of audio files.

Plug-ins Pro-tools has a wide range of processors (Compressors, Graphic Equalizers, reverbs) to manipulate and enhance audio tracks and mixes.

Midi Pro-tools has midi(musical instrument digital interface) functions and internal sounds which can be utilized by using a midi keyboard or any other midi compatible instrument.
