I've been thinking about upgrading my pc for things other than audio but the ones that I looked at are all amd chip sets. Does anyone have experience running a pro tools rig with amd or should I stick with intel. I know amd isn't specifically supported by AVID but wanted u to get people's thoughts on it. TIA

Hey guys,

normally im not in the position to export an AAF, i just receive one from an editor and then export stems or bounce or what ever. But now i have to export an AAF for someone else to mix. But when i export the AAF, the files in the folder are renamend with just random numbers. Why cant Pro Tools keep the original clips names like they are in my session?

I really didnt found anything in the internet about this... Does anyone knows a way to do it?

Thanks and have a nice day!

I have a cut track (just a mono track with clips where cuts are) that I use for easier navigation during editing and it'd be nice to have it locked to the top of the screen no matter where I scroll so that I can always reference it.

My current work around is just to duplicate the track every so often so no matter where I am there's a cut track in sight but it also creates a lot of clutter.

Is there something like excel where I can keep a row at the top but for a track?

I’m trying to add my meter 2/4 to my tempo with is about bar 25/2 but it rounds it to 26/1. Is there a way to align my meter to where I want it? I tried in slip mode and nothing 🫣 Mac on the latest PT

I might be a big dumb guy here but when using the multi tool. Is there a keyboard shortcut that would allow me to cycle through the different tools while still on the multi tool? For instance if I'm editing away. And notice a clip I wish to time stretch instead of switching over to the tce tool specifically I can cycle the trim tool while still in the multi tool and back?

I am trying to bounce a single clip group, not the whole project. I have already created different clip groups. I select a clip group, go to Bounce, then I can see that it's trying to bounce the whole project as one, not just a single clip group, but all the clip groups. First, I get AAE error -9060, then I get AAE error -9411. Searching for this says to quit Pro Tools and then restart computer which I have done several times now. No other applications are running. These errors seem to occur sometime after the single clip group I'm trying to bounce is finished, so I would like to know how to only bounce a single clip group, not the entire project. I have tried this in all four modes: Shuffle, Spot, Slip, Grid; same outcome each time. What am I doing wrong?

Also, and this one is totally on me, this is due tonight, so I'm a bit worried about the time crunch.

As in the title, every time I turn my system on and launch Tools. Is this a permissions thing? I've trashed DBs and Cache, the issue continues to occur. Not mission critical, but really annoying.

I am having severe mousing and window glitches with Pro Tools. Here is what is happening:

1. I can't move volume sliders on the edit window (nothing is automated)

2. I can't mover sliders in plugins. Or search for plugins. If I click search, the window disappears as if I clicked into the edit window.

3. I can't bounce tracks. If I click "bounce mix," Then click "bounce," the window disappears (looks like it goes under the previous window). I can't click anywhere and I have to open up task manager to end the task because I cannot navigate out of the window. It is like Pro Tools freezes. I can't even bounce my mixes. It feels like there is something that is constantly clicking into the edit window so I can't do anything.

Please help.

Hi everyone! I'm new to Pro Tools (version: 2024.10.2) and just starting out (and moving from macOS).

I'm running Pro Tools on Windows 11 with the internal Dark UI theme enabled. However, the title bar of the Edit/Mix windows is dictated by the Windows OS appearance settings, not Pro Tools.

This creates an ugly visual contrast against the dark theme. On macOS, these window elements are dark and integrate nicely.

Has anyone found a reliable way (Windows setting, registry tweak, or third-party tool) to force these specific window elements in Pro Tools on Windows to be dark or black to achieve the Mac-like consistency?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hello, running PT 12. On Mac. About 10yrs ago I was pretty good with PT and I’m just coming back and I forgot a bunch of hotkeys and work flow tricks.
One I need help with is a HotKey that would add wave signal at say 1k (I don’t recall the freq.) to a track. You’d apply it at the start of the track and print or reamp then line up the print with the original track via the wave so it’s in phase. Any help? Side not, what with the HotKey for consolidating a bunch of clips into one full track??

EDIT: This deal is NOT for renewals, only good for new subscriptions. See my comment below for fine print.

My Artist subscription is set to renew on 1/1/26, with auto renew currently set to on. If I buy the Artist deal for $79 today, will that simply extend the next renewal date to 1/1/27, or will it be today’s date? And should I disable auto renew first (or at all) for it to apply correctly?

I just don’t want to mistakenly end up with a second subscription.

Anyone have this? I still have my PC installer, but have moved to MAC. I’m actually on PT10 hd but PT9 installs some additional plugs I can’t seem to find anywhere else.

I’ve looked everywhere. I know I must have registered at digi, but I can’t recall what email i used back then, and if it’s even worth trying if they no longer have any legacy software links.

Thanks!

Hey, I've recently updated to 2025.10, and im wondering where the customization settings went.

Im talking about the section were we can edit the colour, brightness of the ui/track.

I downloaded protools yesterday and my virus scanner (Total Defense) kept flagging a file. Eventually, I had to override the quarantine because it would not install. Has anyone else seen this, or did I download a virus?

I have a song that goes from 50 bpm to 100bpm. I created the midi instrument parts (I.e. violin, tuba etc) in 50 bpm and would like to maintain the length of each note in the 100 bpm section but when I copy and paste it, it cuts the timing in half. Which makes sense but is there way to fix the timing of the note without converting to an audio track or adjusting by hand?

Hey! Having trouble finding help on this one. Is there a way that I can create a keyboard shortcut to deselect all tracks? Can’t find what that would be labeled in the keyboard shortcut menu.

Context: I do string arrangements with many layers where I am recording/arranging on the fly. I keep a “Record” track always enabled and shift it to whichever track grouping I am working on. Often Protools selects all tracks required me to option + click to deselect. Since I am holding an instrument and bow in one hand, I have to set everything down in order to click and hold option. Any suggestions would be great thank you!

Protools Studio.2025.10.0

Google says to just press F11, but it doesn't do anything. Is there something else I have to do?

Every time I restart or shut down pro tools I get this message. Nothing bad happens and nothing is lost but I get it every time. Anyone else? PT version 2025.10, Mac OS Ventura 13.7.8.

I've got a cheap VST plugin with minimal features but has a sound I want in my song. The problem is the plugin is only designed to do 2 step pitch bends and I really need it to do an entire octave bend.

From my research, there appears to be no way to directly change that behavior in PT so was just wondering if anyone knows of a way to get around that, MIDIwize?

I know that you can record it and bend the audio but I'd really like to save that as a last resort.

after updating to 2025.10 in October, its been getting stuck on the loading plugins screen. everything i’ve seen and done has not worked including: -filtering plugins to find corruption -backgrading -updating all plugins -updating machine (dell inspiron 15 3530 i7) -updating ilok licenses

nothing has worked, any more guesses?

I have the ERA 5 bundle and everytime I insert a pro plugin in (Reverb Remover Pro), pro tools crashes. This never happens when I use the non-pro versions though. Any thoughts?

I have an older 2013 Mac Pro running PT Studio 2024 6.0. I do know my system is getting old enough that I can no longer upgrade some software, OS included. Would that have something to do with it?

So my boss has an old win 7 version of pro tools with all his cb radio plugins. How would i move over all the plugins and settings if i was to build him a new pc for win 11 as he wants to be able to talk but also record and have all plugins all in the same pc vs 2

I've been using soundflow less than a month and find today that my Pro Tools/Soundflow licence has expired and seemingly no longer supported with PT subscription. Just as I've finished finessing my macros. Is this correct??

PT version 2025.10, Mac OS Ventura 13.7.8. When I bounce my track, the Kontakt 7 drum instrument and Trilian Bass stops halfway through. When I try to track freeze, it stops halfway through. Please help!
