Technology companies active in the broadcast media space are already gearing up for IBC2025 in Amsterdam in September, and among the companies debuting new and/or updated products at the global affair in the Netherlands is Avid. For this company, “a pivotal update” to a popular music and audio postproduction product is here.
Avid has brought to market Pro Tools 2025.6, which includes Splice integration, MIDI improvements, AI-driven Speech-to-Text, an expanded ARA ecosystem to streamline vocal production. It also offers its users more tightly integrated ADR and reconform workflows and a new in-app dashboard.
Pro Tools is widely used by creators to produce, edit and deliver audio content for television, in addition to music, film and streaming.
The updated product features an easier-to-use dashboard and Splice, billed as the world’s largest royalty-free sample library.
Kenna Hilburn, Sr. VP of Product at Avid, commented, “Whether producers and artists are sketching out ideas, building out tracks, or applying final touches, Pro Tools’ Splice integration provides a more powerful environment for creating music – giving users the ability to quickly find the perfect sound while staying in their creative flow.”
Avid is also updating Pro Tools to enable faster, smarter MIDI creation. Audio post professionals and music producers are also poised to benefit from a new Speech-to-Text AI engine that accelerates dialogue and music editing. Editors can search via a dedicated transcript window any audio file in a session for speech/lyric information, displayed as text directly in context with the associated clips to find specific vocal takes and speed navigation.
Pro Tools 2025.6 will be available to all Pro Tools Artist, Studio, and Ultimate subscribers, as well as perpetual license holders on an active support plan. Many features will also be accessible to Pro Tools Intro users.
