The highly anticipated Pro Tools 2023.6 software update Avid showed us at NAMM has finally arrived, and it's packed with exciting features and enhancements to take your audio production to the next level. Whether you're a Pro Tools subscriber or a perpetual license holder, this update has something special in store for you. Let's dive into the details of what Pro Tools 2023.6 brings to the table.
Add Comments with Track Markers: Enhance Collaboration
Collaboration just got easier with the introduction of Track Markers. Now, you can add detailed, color-coded comments to any track, making it a breeze to communicate ideas, feedback, and direction. Music producers can document performance and arrangement notes, lyrics, and other essential information, creating a seamless workflow for team collaboration. What's even better? Track Markers created in Media Composer will seamlessly translate into Pro Tools, improving audio post-production workflows with enhanced interoperability and compatibility.
Support for More Track Widths: Immersive Audio Mixing
Pro Tools 2023.6 brings expanded support for immersive audio production formats, including Dolby Atmos® and MPEG-H. Pro Tools Studio users can now enjoy track widths from 5.0.2 to 7.1.6, while Pro Tools Ultimate users unlock an even wider range from 5.0.2 to 9.1.6. These additional track widths ensure superior spatial accuracy and precision, making your immersive audio mixes truly come alive.
