I use EQ Effects all the time, it would be really neat to have the EQ window that's in the mixer page replicated on the Edit window and dynamically display the clip Effects EQ.

When a channel is in playlist view, how about an option that allows the track displays for all non-soloed playlists to be shaded grey (or something similar) when one playlist is soloed? This would help make it more obvious which playlist you're listening to and help avoid making errors when comping tracks.

When trying to Comp a performance using the playlist mode. Clicking, or Highlighting the playlist one would like to audition would then automatically solo.

There should be a [something]-S for toggling the track's solo button while the cursor is in a playlist lane. When I go through takes in playlists view, I often want to switch back n forth between hearing them in the mix and hearing them solo. I propose option-S (on Mac), since that seems to do nothing right now.

The Elgato Stream Deck is not a "qualified" third party device to work with Pro Tools.
It works completely fine in Pro Tools on MAC OS, but does not work correctly within Windows when assigning a button to a hot key using the 'alt' modifier key.

Dear Avid support,
Setup 1:
If you are not familiar with the Elgato Stream Deck, it is a fully customizable LCD screen with buttons to trigger basically anything you please... more »

I guess this isn't revolutionary--some other DAWs do this: The idea is that whenever you select a track or click on the fader (or on the numeric value shown by the fader), the mouse scroll wheel then controls the fader. This would give you more of the feel of actually controlling a hardware fader (sort of like a mini-single fader control surface). Each click would be 1 db, and when used in conjunction with the CTRL... more »

This applies to aligning newly recorded tracks with previously recorded tracks, and properly compensating via ADC for hardware inserts. The H/W Insert Delay Compensation setting in the I/O setup is not designed for this.

Pro Tools should be able to properly compensate for the A/D - D/A conversion delay of any hardware, not just Digi hardware. Currently, recording pass compensation is only correctly applied to inputs... more »

One thing I'd love to see is high/low pass on individual sends. I quite often use the same delay or reverb for different instruments in a mix, but if I put filters in the inserts path before such effects then everything gets filtered. Having this you could choose what frequency range on those instruments would feed your delay/reverb/compressor inserted on your return (Aux Track). I think this would provide a lot of creative... more »

It would be cool to have the option to have the waveform of a clip updated so it shows the the changes made with clip effects. Waveforms would look the same as if you rendered the clip effect only you don't have to render and can easily change clip effects parameters later on

The majority of applications for Mac (and also some for Windows) support the two-finger pinch-to-zoom in/out gesture on touchpads, yet Pro Tools does not.

 

Cmd [ ] is great, but having this gesture-based functionality enabled would definitely make for faster workflow when moving around a session.

 

The two-finger drag works, so why not this?

2018.7 bug: when dragging an Xformed region to a non-elastic track to render audio PT no longer adds the suffix Xfor-Xfor to the rendered audio filename. This makes it impossible to keep track of which clips have been processed or not, breaking a vital part of post pro workflow. See attached screen grabs for correct behaviour in 2018.4 and incorrect behaviour in 2018.7.

Allow AUTOMATION BUTTONS to work without the "hold button and tap IPAD app Screen". At the moment it requires 3 steps to change automation on a channel with the DOCK... Allow "BANK and NUDGE" to bank the S3 faders as well as the app screen....

It would be great if we could edit the name of each custom CC lane !

I'm working a lot with VSL automations and using 10 custom CCs per MIDI tracks is not enough readable...

This is a simple idea, but one that would maximise screen real estate for those who like to keep certain plugin windows open all the time (ie. master bus plugins etc)

Have a clickable 'arrow' at the top left of a plugin window (the actual Pro Tools 'header' section, not the plugin GUI) that would allow you to show/hide the header section, displaying ONLY the track name.

There are certain situations when you don't... more »

I do Post audio. We have a client that does 100 phone number tags to a spot. It would be great to be able to write a script in protools to:

Bounce selected tracks/ starting with track # X _then mute track X and unmute track greater than the last.

My sub mix levels would be setup and you just user define: Cascade bounce Starting from track Number 5 Ending on Track number 105
The title for each bounce is grabbed from... more »
