The DAW now natively supports Audio Vivid, the world's first AI-based immersive audio codec standard. Audio Vivid allows precise positioning and movement of sound objects in three-dimensional space. The technology provides an immersive experience and accurate reproduction across a wide range of playback systems, from headphones to complex multichannel speaker systems.

The software includes Audio Brewers ab Decoder HOA Express for quick decoding of Ambisonics audio to stereo, 5.1 or 7.1.2 without setup. Pro Tools also adds full integration with Andrew Scheps' Bounce Factory through SoundFlow, providing quick access to a consistent workflow for exporting mixes, stems and deliverables.

Other additions include Axart Labs AutoBeat Lite, an AI-based MIDI beat engine; Safari Pedals Time Machine, which recreates characteristic sounds from the 1950s to the 1980s through vintage-style filtering, saturation and lo-fi samples; and Wave Alchemy Triaz Player with Avid Select Expansion, offering over 8000 high-quality samples, 375 presets and exclusive Avid sounds. New ARA integrations include VoiceWunder, with highly realistic TTS/STS speech synthesis, very low latency, 74 languages and one-click noise reduction; VOIS, a precise voice filter that turns instruments into voices or the reverse while preserving pitch and rhythm; and Vovious, offering natural vocal tuning with color coding, multitrack support and instant adaptation to arrangement changes.
