The best available, but takes a lot of practice. Great for professionals but maybe too much for some.

Overall Satisfaction with Avid Pro Tools

We use Avid Pro Tools to make music for tutorial videos. Our customers like that we make our own music. We are unable to use popular music because this sometimes results in the videos being taken down - so using our own music solves this problem.
  • Avid does it all. No other program has more options!
  • The whole setup process can be very tedious. I'm not sure how it could be improved but can be a real barrier to entry.
  • Many of our customers purchase our products because of their love for our company - and making our own music for our videos is another reason to love us.
  • No more videos being taken down for not having the music rights.
This is a hard question - I'd give it a 10 for having so many options but a 5 for being user friendly - as it has so many options.
I had issues with installation and thought the support process could have been better. I also do not like that you have to pay yearly for support.
Avid Pro Tools is well suited for professional music production - likely the very best. It is less appropriate, in my opinion for live music production. Also, it is so complex that it may not be appropriate for those without experience and can also be overkill for many who would do better with a simpler program.
