It's been a big year for Avid Pro Tools users. Last year they released ProTools 12.0 and since then we've had four more releases. The next one, ProTool 12.5 will be adding cloud based collaboration! Yes you read that write, you'll be able to collaborate and share your ProTools projects and work with other ProTools all over the world! Need a really hot guitar lick for your ballad? Perhaps a killer drum beat for your rock anthem? Or a sweet piano melody for the bridge of your love song? Now you'll be able to tap into the talents and creativity of musicians all over the globe. The old high school garage band may not still be together, but if you're all still playing, ProTools will allow you to still jam together and create your next big single! ProTools 12.5 with Avid Cloud Collaboration drops on March 31st. Make sure your Avid ProTools All Access Plan is up to date.

Artistic Passion, Dedication and Avid All Access

To those of us in music, film or other creative arts, many others would say we’re nuts. And they might be right.
