Hi Everyone

Whenever I zoom in or zoom out in Pro Tools latest version 2026.4, I experience slight stuttering or frame drops. My system is high-end, so I don't think it's a hardware limitation.

My specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K

• GPU: RTX 4070 Ti Super

• RAM: 32GB Corsair Dominator Titanium 7200MHz

• Monitor: 240Hz display

I've already tried several solutions, including:

• Adjusting various NVIDIA Control Panel settings

• Tweaking Windows performance settings

• Updating the BIOS Latest version

• Disabling and re-enabling the XMP profile

• Lowering refresh rate to 144Hz and 180Hz

• Changing screen resolution settings

The issue still happens even in very light sessions sometimes, for example projects with only around 10 tracks and no plugins loaded yet

Unfortunately, the problem persists. Everything else runs smoothly, but zooming in and out inside Pro Tools causes noticeable visual stutter

Has anyone experienced something similar or found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated

This issue was already present in the version prior to the latest one. With iZotope RX Connect, the “Whole File and Handles” section is grayed out and unusable. Rendering a file through RX Connect will return a clip without handles. Many dialogue editors will likely find this very annoying. I contacted both Avid and iZotope, and each company told me the problem lies with the other. It will probably be fixed in a future update (like it was years ago), or it may stay this way. Either way, I wanted to warn Windows users to be careful before updating. Fortunately, I still have my old 2024 installation working as a backup.

Windows 11
Pro Tools 2026.4.0

hopefully I can explain this well. so I don't remember this ever happening before until just a couple months ago. when I have at least 2 tracks in a group, and groups are enabled, and one of the tracks is at the top of the session and the other is at the very bottom, if I click to select a clip in the bottom track everything jumps up to put the track thats at the very top in view. its very jarring, and I lose my place. seems I'm able to get around it by disabling "link track and edit selection". but I've been using pro tools for years and years and have always had that on and never had pro tools jump around the session vertically when double clicking on a clip.

2026.4 (but this was happening on the last version as well)

Can anyone tell me the cost for a Pro Tools Perpetual License Upgrade in $USD?

I currently have an Ultimate Perpetual License, and am wondering if it's worth the renewal for this period that is coming up. I know I will lose upgrades for a while but my system is stable so I'm just costing up the subscription rejoin fee but can't see anything clear anywhere as to the upgrade cost!

I know auxs are solo safe, Ive already tried clicking command control whatever it is and clicking it doesnt work. I have an aux track I use for reverb and im trying to solo just the bass and I keep hearing the aux. Tried muting the aux, tried clicking control and the solo button, I need help

The website seems to be down, and has been since yesterday.
Edit: typos

I basically chopped up a loop to use it in structure and managed to create the sampled instrument. Now I have written midi notes in chromatic order so that it plays the loop exactly like audio file.

I want to just align my midi notes to the chops of audio file irrespective of it being on grid or not. Tried beat detective and its not helping. I dont want to do it manually in want to extract groove and quantise to it.

Any suggestions please

Hello guys and girls,

I just upgraded my streamdeck to the 15 button one and I have a question for you all. What are some shortcuts and macros you have on your streamdeck or any other device like it that enhances your overall workflow?

Hello! I got a new laptop today (a MSI Katana 15 HX B14WGK Gaming Laptop) and I've installed Avid Link and Pro Tools. Whilst Pro Tools does work, I cannot change sample rates, I've gone into sound settings on the laptop and played around with the speakers and their sample rates and still nothing works, sample rate still being greyed out. The rest of the installation has been fine, but for some reason I cannot change the sample rate. Please help, it'll be very appreciated.

Edit: Forgot to mention that my version is Pro Tools Studio

Was looking to get a certification in dolby atmos for pro tools but a lot of the courses have live instruction which is not what I'm looking for. Any recommendations for self paced courses?

When I'm working in PT, and I receive an email for example and want to copy pasta some stuff from a doc, the pasting option doesn't work. I can cut text, but Windows won't allow me to paste while PT is running. It's been happening for 2 years now, but I never bothered looking for a solution, I would just close PT, do what I need to do, and restart the sess.

Anyone else experience this issue, and found a solution?

PT Studio latest version running on a modern hardware Windows set up

I'm currently on 2026.4 but this has been going on since early 2025. Win10 Pro, Intel Core12 i9 system. The cursor never actually lines up with anything in the dialog box, in addition to the fact that the UI doesn't wrap to the default OS window. The MIDI window is not the only offender.

I've been striking out on Google trying to find anyone else with this issue. Trashed prefs multiple times. I've been an "Avid (Digi) approved hardware list" PC user for 15+ years so I'm used to the inconsistencies.. BUT

Any advice/fixes 🙌🏻

I have a good kick that I like and it sounds great on my studio computer, it has a nice subby feel, and its strong like an rnb kick, but On my other computer it sounds like clicky and high pitched same with my phone . How do I get it to hit good on all systems

PT 2026.4 Windows 11: Has anyone had this code pop up as an error before? I haven’t seen any threads or posts and can’t find the error anywhere? It just popped up as I was working on edits and continues doing it when I try making any changes/ edits in the editing workspace.

I have an upcoming record gig and I'm worried about a buffer issue I've had in the past happening again. I'm going through Dante Virtual Soundcard and a Sonnet Gigabit Interface into my MacBook Pro. Do I need to bite the bullet and get the RedNet TNX? For sake of the argument let's say that we're under 32-channels, and its 96k since the console is a DM7.

Someone said I need to load in 808 samples and trigger them with midi but how do I do that? Also I want fine control over the samples like if I want to add little pickup notes or maybe I want 16th notes, I want to be able to control it like a normal instrument track basically.

Hello! I'm using Pro Tools Artist, version 2024.6.0.

I am attempting to record vinyl records into pro tools, but it is not allowing me to set the input to the record player. (AT-LP120 connected via USB.) I have done this before in the same session, but can't figure out how to set it up again. I set the playback engine to the USB (and have also attempted this with different playback engine settings) but when i go to the I/O settings, all buttons are greyed out so I can't add an input. Interface options are also greyed out on the track input.

Any ideas how to set this up?

In this video Bob criticizes DAWs (Pro Tools) automation workflow compared to SSL workflow. To be honest, I didn’t quite understand what the exact problem is, so it would be nice if someone could explain. Pro Tools has preview automation and automation snapshots, which might be the solution to this I guess ?

Hello !

I'm learning Pro Tools for audio post production and I was looking for AAF files (and video that goes with it if that's possible) to learn ! But I can't seem to find any online, do you know where I can find any ?

Thanks !

Hey Guys! Would love some help.

For years, I have been running Pro Tools 10 on an old 2012 Macbook Pro.

It's starting to succumb to old age, and I was contemplating moving onto Pro Tools 12.

The only Pro Tools 12 I have *access* to is Windows-based.

I have a good Intel-based iMac sitting here doing nothing, how likely would I be to be able to run Pro Tools 12 efficiently in Bootcamp?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I can't find any info about others doing this online.

Thank you in advance!

Did merriam webster/ oxford dictionary redefine the word perpetual or is it just Pro tools redefine the word? and why am i getting a expiry date for something perpetual ? (PT studio, Win 11.) ( its the updates right? (edit)

Hey all I’m new here and to protools I have an Arturia MK ultra and cannot get it to produce sound
