Pro Tools Sketch: Make Music

Beat Making & Music Creation

Published by: Avid Technology

Description

Pro Tools Sketch is a non-linear, clip-based creation tool that lets you capture and play with your musical ideas anywhere that inspiration strikes. Trigger samples and loops, record audio, and capture MIDI performances to quickly work up sketches. Drag-and-drop clips and experiment with arrangements to create something you love. Use the editing tools to shape and tweak your audio and MIDI and then dial in the perfect sound with the onboard mixer and real-time effects. Export your arrangement to share and play or open in the Pro Tools Mac/Windows app for further editing and mixing. And because Pro Tools is the common language across the audio industry, you can take your Sketch to any studio around the world and collaborate with artists everywhere.
Every great session starts with an idea
• Experiment with samples and loops, record audio, and capture MIDI in a clip-based, non-linear environment, with 16 tracks and virtually unlimited scenes
• Play, stop, and rearrange clips and ideas on the fly
• Explore massive library of included and MIDI loops that automatically syncs to your time and tempo, making it easy to try ideas and build up beats
• Bring your own audio and MIDI loops into the mix for even more creative flexibility
Record Audio and MIDI
• Record audio clips using your iPad’s built-in microphone, or attach an external mic
• Edit and manipulate your audio with trim, fade, stretch, reverse, and pitch-shifting effects
• Play and record MIDI using onboard PlayCell and SynthCell software instruments
• Use the software keyboard and drum pads or an external hardware MIDI controller to capture performances, or enter and edit MIDI notes on the grid
Enhance with Effects
• Choose from a range of nine effects to enhance your clips, including chorus, compressor, crunch crusher, delay, EQ, LoFi, multimode filter, reverb, and saturation
• Add effects directly to your tracks or use the global reverb and delay controls
• Use the basic XY controls to quickly tweak effects or get access to all parameters for finer adjustments
Create Arrangements
• Create complete songs by organizing scenes into an arrangement
• Drag scenes into the Scene Arranger in the order you want them to play, and set the number of times to repeat each scene before advancing to the next one
• Experiment with the order, length, and combination of your scenes until happy with your arrangement
Export, Share, and Finish in Pro Tools
• Export arrangement as a .WAV mixdown that you can share and play anywhere
• Move your Sketch to the free Pro Tools Intro Mac/Windows app to use Pro Tools’ world-class editing and mixing tools to finish your creation

Pro Tools Sketch Reviews

Outstanding

texascrow on

United States

This actually works extremely well for a workflow where you record your loops in AUM and then import/arrange them in Sketch. Very intuitive.

Definitely needs work

Strizbiz on

United States

Great idea, and while it’s not ground breaking it would be great for starting ideas and finishing them in ProTools but recording with it can be a mess….its just too distracting sometimes trying to get everything to start at the same time…like how hard can it be to have an actual overall transport control that also has a record button? At this point it’s just easier to use other IPad apps and export the audio and import it into ProTools than using this app, because this app can be a vibe killer more often than not tbh.

It’s a good start

It’s perfect, Auv3 plugin would be nice add so I can use Koala sampler in it.

Could be great. Lacks instruments

Svengranlund on

United States

Shame has so much potential. Needs about 10x the amount of instruments just not fun. Yay a piano sound. Wow lol

Worst beat music maker ever

Lynnice Marie, and Esther on

United States

Look I like samples because they sample DJ mixes from older songs and add new effects but clearly this one doesn’t work at all and really makes no sense and it only plays one beat that you made if you press the other one it can play then it stops then you have to press it all over again and it doesn’t have any audio background music and I don’t have any headphones I thought it should ether with headphones Or No headphones i like how it’s free but the music doesn’t mix

Awesome…with need for minor tweaks!

...::mybffs4evr::... on

First, wow… such an awesome and easy loop player and music creation tool! Fast and efficient and easy to manage. Second, free…I mean really!?! But here is number three…I would gladly pay additional for the ability to import sounds and loops for use with the installed synth and system. Adding the ability to import loops, short samples, etc., sends this off the charts! An amazing app already could become nectar from the Gods!

Incredible truly intuitive and music focused with excellent sound!

I’m smitten with this incredible piece of software from pro tools folks who give us this amazing tool absolutely free . I’m using it to compose a classic movie cue today and it’s just coming together very quickly and although I was wondering about ed, instruments placement location of mixer ,after just a half an hour I’m feeling completely comfortable doing it all within pro tools sketch. I’m sure as the day continues I will complete a full song with midi and audio . That is exactly the result I expected but didn’t get with Logic Pro on iOS ! All other iOS DAW creators take note . Now I have two excellent music focused daws on the iPad with this and Korg Gadget ! We now have amazingly powerful folks working for us on iOS ! I have goose bumps! 😁😁👽👽✌️✌️🤣🤣

Audio Editing Improvements

BIGBolo73 on

United States

Selection mode should be able to highlight fingers instead of using the start/ end markers to copy, paste. Also the wait time holding a sample to move is too long. Grid should have a select option instead of having to zoom so far in or have the option of using more screen real estate to edit samples. Other than that so far it’s not too bad. Does need some improvements but right now it’s needs a faster workflow mostly in editing.

Holy gods of the Olympus, our bearer of enlightenment and the illumination have arrived

Dear God of the forbidden light, the bearer of wisdom, and the giver of never ending blessings and the unstoppable force of integrity, What have done, what have you us given, This app is going to bring the first wave of iOS professional music production soon, soon, I’m afraid of a lot of other apps wouldn’t even have the purpose to exist! It’s sad, but the fire rises, The fire of the wisdom! Starts, now, It starts! On behalf of iOS, Thank you, for owning a heart so dignified, for your kindness and conveying such level appreciation solely by this unparalleled appreciation for the aesthetics, thank you for being our Messiah! Enter the dragon, the fire rises! Thank you. Love you.
