Pro Tools is well know in pro studios. Now, you have the chance to install it into your computer…

Want to make great sounding music?

Start off right using many of the same tools the pros use—absolutely free.

Pro Tools | First is simple enough for beginners, yet sophisticated for experienced musicians, enabling you to quickly compose, record, edit, and mix music. Entry to the industry’s most trusted audio workstation has never been easier.

Play and practice your heart out

New to making music ? Pro Tools | First is a great place to hang out, play, and practice your favorite instrument or improve your vocal abilities.

Choose from a selection of session templates, which provide preloaded instrument tracks, and start creating a song in a variety of music genres, including EDM, rock, pop, jazz, and hip-hop.

Record yourself with ease

Whether you sing, play an instrument, or simply want to make some noise, Pro Tools | First makes it easy to quickly turn the ideas in your head into fully realized songs.

Record up to 16 audio tracks, either one at a time through your computer’s audio input, or up to four inputs simultaneously using a USB audio interface, making it easy to capture your vocal and guitar, multiple vocalists, or quick-n-dirty band jam session.

Use loop recording to capture multiple takes of a performance, so you can nail that perfect guitar solo or let your spontaneity rule.

Compose your own music

No instrument? No problem. Create musical parts with virtual instruments (VIs), plug-in software that generates instrument sounds on your computer—anything from beats and loops, to guitars, bass, and more cowbell.

With the included Xpand!2 music synthesizer, you have an incredible range of instruments at your fingertips—from acoustic pianos, strings, brass, percussion, and woodwinds, to electronic synths, guitars, drums, basses, sound effects, and more.

Use the MIDI Editor to write and edit notes, perfect virtual instrument performances, and modify how loud and soft notes play to give your music more dynamics and emotion across up to 16 instrument and 16 MIDI tracks.

With Elastic Pitch and Elastic Time, you can make bum notes sound pitch perfect and fix timing inconsistencies—without sounding like a chipmunk… or Sylvester Stallone.

Of course, we’re far away from Pro tools HD integrated systems that worth thousands of dollars but to educate young producers with a calling product like this one is certainly a model we’ll see more and more since the war between digital audio workstations has slowly but surely started already.
