Pro Tools Feedback Ideas

PT 2018.4 Option drag to copy a midi note fails about half the time resulting in the original note just being moved instead of creating a copy. It's been that way a long time-years.

If you have ever played this game, you already know it's no fun. What is the function of the crosshair, other than frustration anyway. How about a suitable option for the visually challenged.

it would be great if Elastic Audio could also work with third party algorithms like Zplane Elastique.

Avid has opened the doors for the (time) trimmer tool for third parties, so why not there too?

In working with Pro Tools, we usually rely on receiving an error when you are monitoring how many tracks you have already used for the session. We can always count the tracks manually, but that does not work well when you are almost at the track count limits. To alleviate this, I propose that there be a Track Count statistics window, where the following information can be seen: "Current Track Count (Maximum Track Count ...more »

There is a limit of about 16000 samples at 44.1k/48k and about 32000 samples at 88k/96k. Absolute no limit would be great! I have always about 55000 samples delay at 96k. My Delay Compensation stays red and does not compensate for about 23000 samples.

Starting with Pro Tools 2018 (and continuing through past few updates), I noticed that OMF imports were not including volume automation by default, even though the "Import Volume Automation" radio button is checked. I discovered that I need to go into the "Track Data to Import" options, and RESELECT the 'Default' option in order to actually turn on "Main Volume Automation and Setting" (and others, though I realize OMF ...more »

Currently with video sync offset if you enter an offset in Milliseconds the actual offset only changes in a 40 ms intervals. In our system if I put in 61ms it produces an offset that is still out of sync by 20ms, if I enter 62ms then the sync jumps to -20 ms our of sync when measured. This is using the app catchin sync to measure.

Running 2018.4 with a AJA Kona LHi card.

One of the key qualities of Pro Tools was always its solid professionalism with regards to past sessions. Where you'd need three+ plus different versions of, say, Logic to open an older session in a current version, Pro Tools would just give you a couple of pop-up options, make a WAV copy of the SD2 files and you'd be back in business. Unfortunately this wonderful feature ended with PT 10/11. I have a large archive of ...more »

Please, Avid, I'm so tired of having to click OK in the dialog box when I'm renaming 384 files. In PT8 we could hold down the enter key and it would cycle each one. Please bring this back, or even the ability to "Option-Click OK to name all". We rename THOUSANDS of files per day, and this would make our workflow so much better (and so much quieter). To reproduce: Record hundreds of separate dialog files. Command-A ...more »

Simple as that. Currently Pro Tools is limited to 4 sets of 26 groups - 1 group for each letter of the alphabet, 4 times over - or 104 in total. For large post production sessions (especially when working with 'multiple mono' tracks), this really isn't enough. Would dearly love to see this limitation removed

Add a preference tick box: make all new aux-tracks solo safe by default

Audiosuite plugins that are set to CREATE INDIVIDUAL FILES and CLIP BY CLIP will lose the CLIP BY CLIP setting when the session is closed and reloaded. When the session reopens (some of) those plugins will be switched to ENITRE SELECTION. This is also true of templates built with audiosuite plugins loaded; creating a new session from a template results in those plugins losing their CLIP BY CLIP setting that was present ...more »
