Expanded ARA 2 integration

New Included MIDI Effect Plugins

2024.6 gives Pro Tools customers two new MIDI plugins by Mixed In Key: Captain Chords Lite and Human Lite. Captain Chords Lite is a perfect songwriting companion that allows users to pick any key and instantly create chords to try out, with complete control over inversions, substitutions, and passing tones. Captain Chords Lite also includes a library of chord progressions and rhythms to experiment and create something amazing. The Human Lite plugin adds the organic feel of live musicians to quantized MIDI performances, loops, and even entire tracks. The Captain Chords Lite and Human Lite plugins are exclusively available to all Pro Tools customers with active subscriptions and perpetual upgrade plans.

Session export for Avid Media Composer

Pro Tools Ultimate users can now save a copy of a session as a Media Composer-compatible file, greatly simplifying sound for picture workflows. This new file format includes sample-accurate volume and pan automation as well as markers that can be imported into Media Composer.
