Avid has released Pro Tools 2025.10, what it describes as “a feature-rich update” that delivers advances in immersive music creation and workflow efficiency.

The new immersive audio capabilities comes through native support for Sony’s 360 Reality Audio. This enables artists and producers to position sounds all around the listener – above, below, and on all sides – placing them at the center of an immersive musical experience.

The integration enables 360 Reality Audio content creation directly within a Pro Tools session. It also provides format conversion from Dolby Atmos to 360 Reality Audio, with stems and settings carrying over automatically. Users can continue to mix and edit in both formats within the same session

“This new version of Pro Tools is all about access and ease of use – making complex immersive audio more intuitive, workflow automation more seamless, and high-value creative tools more available to users,” said Chris Winsor, director of Pro Tools product management at Avid. “Whether you’re mixing spatial music, speeding up repetitive tasks, or exploring Pro Tools for the first  time, this updated version delivers capabilities that help creators stay in their flow and elevate their work.

“By integrating Sony’s 360 Reality Audio directly into the Pro Tools environment, artists and producers can now explore new creative dimensions – all without switching out of their trusted workflow. This is a powerful step forward in delivering the immersive experiences today’s listeners are seeking.”

Jordy Freed, senior director, deputy head of Sony’s personal entertainment business, added: “360 Reality Audio opens a bigger creative canvas inside Pro Tools – making immersive music creation more accessible and giving artists and producers the tools to push the boundaries of spatial sound and connect with listeners in bold new ways.”

Other updated features include integrated SoundFlow automation and in-app tutorials.

SoundFlow is a workflow automation platform, which is now integrated directly into Pro Tools. It includes 1,700+ free prebuilt macros, enabling the automation of repetitive actions like bouncing stems, creating tracks, and navigating complex sessions.

Furthermore, a “Learn” tab, powered by SoundFlow, offers interactive tutorials that walk users through key workflows such as audio recording, MIDI editing, and navigating the UI.

Premium SoundFlow subscribers can unlock deeper functionality, including access to the full macro library, Flows, and an AI-powered Session Assistant – a natural language automation tool that understands context and runs complex tasks instantly at the user’s command.

“Avid’s integration of SoundFlow is a pivotal step toward a more intuitive studio future,” said Christian Scheuer, founder and CEO of SoundFlow. “Together, we’re putting world-class automation directly in the hands of every Pro Tools user – enhancing productivity and empowering creativity.”

Other enhancements to Pro Tools 2025.10 include speech-to-Text enhancements, including offline and batch transcription, and UI Customization, Dark Mode support, and MIDI workflow optimisations.

Avid is also offering free plugins and sounds through “Inner Circle Rewards” that are available to annual Pro Tools subscribers and perpetual customers on active upgrade plans, the latest rewards include Acon Digital Verberate 2 – transparent reverb with realistic spatial simulation;  Acon Digital DeBleed:Snare – AI-powered snare bleed removal; Nightfox Audio Rendition Lite – MIDI chord/arpeggio plugin for fast songwriting; and Three Leap Expansions for Kontakt Player – loops and samples to inspire new ideas.
