Avid has launched a new way to make music with Pro Tools. Allowing your ideas to flow straight from your imagination to your ears and into your timeline.

Pro Tools Sketch is a non-linear, clip-based creation tool and iPad app that fits right into your Pro Tools workflow.

Pro Tools Sketch features

  • A clip-based, non-linear environment, with 16 tracks and virtually unlimited scenes to launch samples/loops, record audio, and capture MIDI performances.
  • Available as an integrated window in Pro Tools as well as a free iPad app that mixes familiar workflows with new ways to experiment with musical ideas.
  • Includes a massive library of free loops, virtual instruments, and effects to inspire ideas and get you creating quickly.
  • Edit and arrange MIDI and audio to fine tune performances and loops and then organize them into a linear arrangement.
  • Share Sketches or refine in the Pro Tools timeline—you can easily export Sketches and share with friends or bring any/all parts of your Sketch into the Pro Tools timeline for further editing and mixing.

Pro Tools Sketch for iPad and desktop is free to download.
