Pro Tools Feedback Ideas

Soft Keys are to small

Encoder gearing and speed needs to be user adjustable. Right now it is either super slow or super fast with no middle ground. Makes it very hard to adjust plugins on the S3.

Adding an Automation Event List (similar to the MIDI Event List) would be a welcome feature to Pro Tools. To summarize: it would be the Automation counterpart to the MIDI Event List.

Much like the MIDI counterpart, this event list would be a floating or docked window that would have a drop-down selector to choose the displayed track.

It would list all automation breakpoints with three columns: location (time), parameter... more »

Prior to AAX it was possible to find samples in workspace, then drag and drop them directly into a sampler such as Structure, Kontakt, Battery, Maschine etc. With the introduction of AAX the drag and drop functionality was removed from the AAX format.

Please reinstate it! It is very inconvenient and infuriating to have to find a sample in workspace or timeline, then work out the audio path, memorise it, and go into... more »

Many modern DAWs create crossfades automatically when you drag a region over another one. This would be so much quicker and easier than the current method in Pro Tools.

I love the new PT Control, the only thing missing for me is the ability to control Send levels on the selected tracks...

 

Please add this feature

Full iPad screen editing of any plugin.
How it might work:
* Click on plugin send with mouse within Pro Tools.
* Instead of bringing up the selected plugin window within Pro Tools as it usually would, it simply highlights the send (perhaps red) and throws the plugin window directly onto your iPad screen, scaled to the iPads full size screen for real time touch editing.
* Alongside/above the plugin graphics on the iPad,... more »

Users that had CPTK forced to HD license when avid discontinued it- should be paying the vanilla Yearly fee not HD for subscription, As did not have another option and also we don't have any HD or DSP cards, this is something we paid for along with Pro tools LE to use basic things like more tracks and automation modes and at the time it was an add on we paid 2k for and continued to upgrade the LE version at scale and... more »

Am I the only person who is having this issue? I'm using a Samsung 28" 4K monitor and whenever i use any of the Avid plugins in Pro Tools (Specifically and of the AIR products and Xpand 2) my whole DAW window shrinks in size and is unreadable.

It's like as if the plugins overwrite the High DPI scaling done by Windows 10.

We need the ability to relink unlinked files directly from the Edit window.
There is no menu to open directly the relink window, the only way to open it is to find unlinked file in the workspace window and then to activate the relink function. It is long and boaring
I want to relink missing files directly from the edit menu, by a function on the dropdown menu.
Or i need an item in the window menu to open the link windows.... more »

I have recently worked on a project that's a musical play. Several tracks for stereo and mono sound design and fx cues, several tracks for individual actors, singers. The locations list has close to 200 cues. It would have been helpful to have more than one locator list to call up I.E., scenes, one for fx cues locations, one for music cues, one for actor redo locations. etc.instead of trying to find one out of 200 cues... more »

Users who have multiple screens set up and frequently go back and forth between the Edit and Midi editor will know the frustration of hovering over one window with the mouse, using a zoom (or other) shortcut, and having the previously selected window zoom in or out. I'd love to see a feature where the shortcuts (like zoom in/out) affect the screen that the mouse is currently hovering over without having to click somewhere... more »

When a clip's start is beyond the left of screen of the display, the name of it cannot be identified without scrolling out or alt tabbing or zooming out or double clicking. It would help that the partially showing clip's name were always shown in the clip lane at the left window until it is entirely off screen.

Import photographs into protools sessions to make it easier to recall sessions that are using analog hardware. An auto import function would be great and the photos would probably live within the track comments. we need an app for this!
