This means you can now quickly loop audio and keep it in playback as you experiment with a number of different ideas. Unlike previous versions, Pro Tools 2019 will no longer stop playback when you perform a number of basic editing and mixing actions, such as moving clips in the edit window, adding or removing tracks or plug-ins, or routing audio. Pro Tools 2019.5 has added track naming to the New Tracks dialogue window, making it easier than ever to make sure this never happens to one of your sessions. There is nothing worse than receiving a project containing files titled Audio_01, Audio_02 etc. Poorly named tracks are a bugbear of many professional engineers. Pro Tools | First users also get a look in with this version of Pro Tools, bringing unlimited local sessions to the free version of Pro Tools, as well as up to three simultaneous projects on the Avid Cloud.
Similarly, Avid has expanded the number of available MIDI channels to 1024, vastly expanding the number of virtual instruments you can have in a single Pro Tools session. Pro Tools 2019.5 expands this to 384 audio channels by default and can be further extended to 768 voices using HDX cards, or by purchasing Native Voice Packs, which expand Pro Tools by 128 voices per pack. Previously, Pro Tools was limited to 256 audio channels – more than enough for many users, but problematic for some film and TV dubbing editors, as well as some more adventurous musicians. While this change only affects a subset of Mac users, the next major change only really affects users running enormous projects. For everyone else, this means they can finally upgrade to Mojave, safe in the knowledge that it won’t break Pro Tools! This is of particular importance to anyone who might have bought a new Mac in the last year, since new Macs come with the latest OS preinstalled and downgrading to older versions isn’t supported at all. For Mac users, the biggest update is probably the support for macOS Mojave, both in Pro Tools itself and in the accompanying EuControl software, which enables control of Pro Tools from S3 and S6 devices as well as the PT Control App running on iPads.
Scaling the heightsĪll this is not to say Pro Tools 2019.5 does not come with any new features. However, the sacrifice is that Pro Tools updates now no longer come with quite as many flagship new features: in fact, for many users, Pro Tools 2019.5 will simply feel like a more polished and smooth version of the Pro Tools they have been using and loving for some time now. This attention to bugs is one of the big advantages of the subscription model and it is not only new bugs that Avid are ironing out before release, but plenty of existing bugs from previous versions will no longer cause problems going forward.
