Forte teams up with Avid Technology to bring Pro Tools customers automated mix prep and export workflows.

Turin, Italy – May 29, 2025

Forte is a powerful new ecosystem designed to fully automate the most repetitive and time-consuming parts of music production inside Pro Tools. Built for mixing engineers, producers, and musicians, Forte takes care of the heavy lifting—freeing creatives to stay in the zone, finish projects faster, and constantly elevate the quality of their work.

What is Forte for Pro Tools?

Forte for Pro Tools is a modular automation ecosystem that streamlines both session prep and mix exports. It currently includes two core modules:

Forte Import automates all key mix prep tasks—from track naming and color coding to routing, fake stereo-to-mono conversion, automatic instrument recognition, and intelligent renaming. It seamlessly works with users’ own Pro Tools templates and allows for custom preset creation, ensuring fast, consistent results across projects.

Forte Export dramatically speeds up the bounce process. In just a few clicks, users can print multiple versions of a mix—TV Mix, a cappella, stems, and more—saving significant time and eliminating the need for repetitive manual work.

An exclusive free Forte experience for Pro Tools customers

As part its partnership with Avid Technology, Forte offers Pro Tools customers with active subscriptions and perpetual upgrade plans an enhanced free experience of its ecosystem. Pro Tools customers get access to expanded free functionality: up to 16 tracks per session with Forte Import, and the ability to print 2 mix versions per session with Forte Export—with unlimited sessions in both cases.

“Importing and prepping sessions and then bouncing out all the different deliverables needed is always time-consuming, and Forte’s ability to automate these processes is amazing,” said Chris Winsor, Director of Product Management for Pro Tools at Avid. “Not only do these import and export tools potentially save Pro Tools users hours of time, but their free Forte for Pro Tools offering enables all customers to explore these workflows for themselves.”
