Pro Tools Reviews & Ratings

5/5

“Great Music Producing Tool”

I record and mix using Pro Tools, which is incredibly powerful and has many tools for fine-grained editing. However, I had to watch a lot of tutorials, and it was difficult at first.

Pros : Lots of plugins, excellent audio quality, and strong editing tools

Cons : Steep learning curve and resource-intensive

Switched from : Logic Pro

Reason to switch : Since Pro Tools is known as the industry standard, I wanted to see how well it works. I love how quick and easy it is compared to Logic Pro.

4.6/5

“Dependable, but Needs a Modern Update”

I trust Pro Tools for my professional work because it is a standard in the industry. But, compared to other DAW applications, it feels it needs an update and is clunky.

Pros : Abundance of features and a robust audio engine.

Cons : The interface is outdated, expensive, and not the most user-friendly.

Switched from : Cubase Artist

Reason to switch : I wanted a DAW where grouping, editing, and automation are smoothly incorporated into the software itself.

4.5/5

“High Standards but Too Costly”

I love Pro Tools for the fact that they offer excellent output quality and all the features a sound engineer would love to have. But it’s difficult to learn if you’re new to audio production, and the subscription model and extra plugin costs are excessive.

Pros : Editing is easy to use, with extensive plugins, and edits up to 32-bit, 192hz audio.

Cons : Too expensive, pricey plugins and it takes time to master.

Switched from : ReMasterMedia

Reason to switch : I was using ReMasterMedia before this and I did not like it at all, the distortion and poor quality was an instant regret.

4.5/5

“Best DAW out there”

Pro Tools from my personal experience is for those working on intricate songs since it offers all the features you need for producing music of the highest quality. Takes some time to understand but it’s totally worth it.

Pros : Great for multi-track records and steady to use.

Cons : Not very customizable and requires a lot of proficiency.

Switched from : Ableton Live

Reason to switch : I was looking for a more flexible interface and DAW from a creative point of view which Pro Tools provided.

4.5/5

“Top Notch Quality”

I love how Pro Tools can produce high-quality audio and its features that simplify complicated tasks. But the interface can be confusing. It is also annoying to have to pay for upgrades.

Pros : Advanced features, high-quality audio output, and highly flexible.

Cons : Complex interface and paid upgrades.

Switched from : Ocenaudio

Reason to switch : Needed software where duplicating a playlist was smooth and not taxing. Pro Tools lets you do this which improves my speed in producing.

4.3/5

“Top Pick for Veterans of Audio Mixing”

Professionals and veterans of the DAW community loved the Pro Tools since they had always been accustomed to the interface. However, I found out that it has compatibility issues with my M1 laptop and had to run it through Rosetta.

Pros : Trusted by audio engineers, has a professional-grade output with highly detailed control.

Cons : Compatibility issues and the pricing subscription model.

Switched from : Adobe Audition

Reason to switch : I was searching for a DAW with a better usability and editing approach. Pro Tools seemed like a viable option regardless of the price.

4.3/5

“Solid Software for Experts”

Pro Tools has proven to be dependable for managing large projects and is fantastic for professional audio work. One of the only downsides to it is that you need a powerful computer for it to function properly.

Pros : Industry-standard and extensive plugin support

Cons : Expensive and requires powerful hardware

Switched from : FL Studio

Reason to switch : FL Studio was a little complex and not as user-friendly as Pro Tools which offered a simpler setup.

4.1/5

“Superb for Audio Use”

In a studio setting where you need to carefully work is required, Pro Tools excels, and its editing capabilities are unmatched. However, I had come across MIDI integration in Pro Tools is poor and experience time lagging.

Pros : Ideal for studio-quality recording, equipped with accurate editing capabilities, and scalable for large projects.

Cons : MIDI integration in Pro Tools is not as optimized and I have experienced a lot of lags.

Switched from : Studio One

Reason to switch : My previous DAW’s interface was cluttered and did not have as many instruments as Pro Tools.

4/5

“Great for experts but too much for some”

Personally, I feel like Pro Tools has the best sound quality, I like to use it for the task that requires a professional touch. But due to its difficulty for newcomers and purchasing more plugins can get expensive it’s not as ideal as it can be.

Pros : Dependable, trusted by professionals, and had high-quality recording and mixing.

Cons : Challenging for beginners, not very adaptable and plugins are costly.

Switched from : GarageBand

Reason to switch : I found Pro Tools to have much better hardware, and its support policies are top-notch.
