SKETCH
A new non-linear creation window in Pro Tools AND a free creative mobile app for iPad
Here is a blog I wrote about this feature when it was released: https://www.avid.com/resource-center/pro-tools-sketch
What is Sketch?
Pro Tools Sketch is both a free application for iPad, AND a window within Pro Tools (all tiers, including the free Pro Tools Intro) starting with version 2023.9. Pro Tools Sketch is essentially a clip launcher that lets you create and mix audio clips, MIDI clips, virtual instruments, and audio effects in a non-linear environment, and arrange them into Scenes and Arrangements.
Same app, different environments…
In Pro Tools, the Sketch window provides the same functionality as the Sketch app, but with the additional functionality of being able to drag and drop audio and MIDI clips (and Scenes and Arrangements) between the Sketch window and a Pro Tools session. You can share Sketches between the Pro Tools Sketch app and the Sketch window in Pro Tools (.ptsketch file format). In Pro Tools, a Sketch can be open with or without a session.
