About Pro Tools

Pro Tools is a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed and released by Avid Technology for Microsoft Windows and macOS. DAW is sound producer best friend (like Logic Pro X). The DAW interface allows to build soundtracks, create sound effect, perform mastering and more.

However, every DAW needs sounds libraries, patches, plugin and tools that enables more possibilities and elevates sounds diversity and accuracy. There are a lot of plugin and tools out there. Nevertheless, it’s hard to find something really satisfying to professional needs, especially when hybrid instrument sounds are needed.
