Pro Tools 2025.6 Update Features

Empowering a new generation of music creators

At the core of the Pro Tools 2025.6 release is Avid’s deep commitment to giving music producers and artists the intuitive, powerful tools and easy-to-use dashboard they need to get started making music.

Splice, the world’s largest royalty-free sample library, extends Pro Tools’ capabilities to leverage nearly any sound musicians and production teams need. Splice is built directly into Pro Tools, putting millions of loops, FX and one-shots at music creators’ fingertips. Users can discover, audition and capture high-quality sounds without ever leaving Pro Tools.

Creators can drag audio clips from the Pro Tools timeline directly into Splice’s AI-powered Search with Sound panel to match samples by rhythm, key and tempo. Users can also preview samples and seamlessly drag them back into their sessions. Pro Tools users can access over 2,500 free samples or unlock the full library with a monthly paid subscription.

“These updates prove that Pro Tools is the complete solution for producers, artists, and editors working across genres and styles, from electronic music to film music, for both seasoned music professionals and those just entering the industry,” said Mr. Windsor.

Eliminate the hassle of searching for dialogue or vocal takes

Pro Tools 2025.6 introduces a Speech-to-Text AI engine that speeds up dialogue and music editing for audio post professionals and music producers. A dedicated transcript window lets you search for voice and lyric information in any audio file in your session, displayed as text directly in the context of the related clip, for faster navigation and to find specific vocal takes.

“ The response from both the post-production and music communities has been incredibly positive.

Speech-to-Text is a major step forward, simplifying ADR, editing and dialogue workflows.
