Pro Tools Feedback Ideas

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 »

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.

Soft Keys are to small

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 »

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 »

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

I see this has been entered before but somehow it is still not addressed. Regardless of how many Artist MC and Mixes are connected, banking always occurs 8 tracks at a time, instead of all at the same time. I.E., I have 20 Channels and I would expect, when I bank, that it would bank channels 1 MC Control + 2 MC Mix= Tracks 1 - 20 Tracks 21 - 40 Tracks 41 - 60, and so on. Other Artist Series combination configuration ...more »

Allow up to 64 inputs to allow for new audio networking protocols like Dante.

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 »

With HD Native Systems, you can only run 1 output pair as a low latency monitoring path. Almost any 3rd party interface will allow multiple low latency cue mixes, so it seems strange that Multiple LLM (Low Latency Monitoring) outputs for HD Native are unsupported. Please offer this, Avid!

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.

Please add your vote.

Include a 'Relink and COPY to session audio files folder' as well as 'Relink and MOVE to session audio files folder' option into the missing audio files window. I know, file management should be nailed in the first place. However, I often receive session files from clients for mixing and I spend too much time sorting out somebody else's mess. These two options will make my life much easier. Thanks for voting this idea ...more »

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!

Some sort of flashing hazard danger warning that the ALL group is on (which could be switched off as a preference).

If you move a fader without remembering to switch that off it can cause chaos with your mix and a hideous noise which can screw peoples hearing if they are wearing headphones and make you look like a doofus.
