WHAT'S NEW IN PRO TOOLS 2025.6
The Pro Tools 2025.6 software update introduces new capabilities for both music and audio post customers, including AI-powered Speech-to-Text analysis to quickly search sessions for speech and lyric information as well as Splice integration that makes it easy to find the perfect sound from world’s largest royalty-free sample library. The release also offers support for industry-leading audio post solutions, including Non-Lethal Applications Cue Pro for tightly-integrated ADR workflows and The Cargo Cult Matchbox 2 support for faster and more reliable reconforming processes. To streamline vocal production without having to roundtrip audio, 2025.6 offers ARA support for Dreamtonics Synthesizer V and Waves Sync Vx plugins, plus MIDI Editor and Input Monitoring enhancements, a new in-app Dashboard, and more.
SPEECH-TO-TEXT SAVES HOURS OF SEARCHING FOR DIALOG AND VOCAL TAKES
Speech-to-text accelerates audio post dialog editing and music production workflows using AI to analyze audio files for speech/lyric information which is displayed as text directly in context with each clip. Text will closely follow as clips are edited, and speech data across the session can be searched via the new Transcript window to find specific vocal takes and speed navigation.
SPLICE IN PRO TOOLS PUTS MILLIONS OF SOUNDS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Splice, the world’s largest sample library, is now integrated directly into Pro Tools—letting you discover, audition, and drop in high-quality sounds, without ever leaving the DAW. Whether you’re sketching out ideas, building out tracks, or applying final touches, Splice puts the world’s best catalog of royalty-free loops, one-shots, and FX right at your fingertips. Not only can you now access millions of Splice samples directly in Pro Tools, but you can also Search with Sound. Simply drag in any audio clip from the timeline and Splice AI will instantly find top compatible samples synced to your session’s beat, key, and tempo—no more app switching, no more guesswork. Pro Tools users can create a free Splice account to get over 2,500 free samples or subscribe for $12.99/month and get access to the full Splice library.
INTEGRATED ADR WITH NON-LETHAL APPLICATIONS CUE PRO
Non-Lethal Applications Cue Pro delivers tightly-integrated ADR, foreign language dubbing, and foley workflows with Pro Tools—without the need for additional setup or separate project management. Cue Pro overlays directly over the Pro Tools (2025.6 and later) video output, providing instant visual feedback as you create and edit ADR cues. The Cue Pro Connect plugin seamlessly integrates and saves all Cue Pro project data directly inside the Pro Tools session to simplify handoffs to other engineers or departments.
RECONFORM FASTER AND MORE RELIABLY WITH THE CARGO CULT MATCHBOX 2
The Cargo Cult Matchbox 2 offers faster and more reliable reconforming processes between Pro Tools and Media Composer and other NLE’s. New Smart-Conform automation executes the reconform on a per-clip basis, enabling Matchbox to carefully move clips and automation around and clean up all the little scraps of “conform shrapnel”—saving the editor hours of tedious cleanup work after every reconform. Matchbox 2 also provides a constant side by side comparison of the old and new pictures with changes highlighted in red, letting you easily jump between old and new cuts for reference, and even copy/paste an entire event in perfect sync with the new cut.
PRO TOOLS ARA ECOSYSTEM EXPANDS WITH SUPPORT FOR DREAMTONICS SYNTHESIZER V AND WAVES SYNC VX
Dreamtonics Synthesizer V lets you generate and sculpt vocal tracks by sketching out melodies, writing lyrics, choosing from a collection of vocals recorded and licensed from real singers, and synthesize custom expressions utilizing AI technology. ARA support enables Synthesizer V to interact directly with the Pro Tools' timeline, eliminating the need for real-time playback when playing back vocal parts for a more fluid editing and playback process. Waves Sync Vx lets you unclutter all your vocal tracks in seconds, automatically locking the time and pitch of multiple vocal tracks to your lead performance to save hours of manual editing to sync backing vocals or align re-recorded dialogue. With ARA support, you can now use Sync Vx to manage your entire vocal arrangement in Pro Tools without having to roundtrip audio.
FASTER MUSIC CREATION WITH MIDI EDITOR ENHANCEMENTS
Pro Tools 2025.6 adds MIDI Operations and Note Labels to the MIDI Editor, making MIDI workflows easier and more intuitive. MIDI Operations have previously only been accessible via the Event Operations window, and integrating these tools into the MIDI Editor improves accessibility when you need them most and help new users discover them more easily. MIDI Note Labels helps you keep track of how sounds are laid out when programming drums or working with non-traditional instruments. You can now easily rename your piano roll in the MIDI Editor to quickly see what sound is assigned to each note.
