ProTools Artist 1yr Subscription
The deal
$79 at The FX Chain (down from $99), a 20% discount on a 1-year Pro Tools Artist subscription. No coupon code needed. The FX Chain doesn't list an expiration date for this sale, so treat it as an ongoing promotion rather than a limited-time flash sale.
What it is
Pro Tools Artist is Avid's entry-level subscription tier for Pro Tools, the DAW that remains the de facto standard in professional studios, post-production houses, and film and TV mixing stages. The subscription includes core recording, editing, and mixing tools plus a growing library of stock plugins, virtual instruments, and loop content, along with quarterly feature updates and Avid's Inner Circle rewards for additional sounds and plugins.
Who it's for
Producers and engineers who want to work in the same session format used by major studios, or who collaborate with pros who already run Pro Tools. It also suits anyone moving up from a free or entry-level DAW who wants a lower-cost way into the Pro Tools ecosystem before committing to the full Studio tier.
Key features
- Cross-platform session compatibility with every other Pro Tools tier, so files open cleanly in any professional studio
- Non-linear Sketches workspace for sequencing loops, MIDI, and recordings before arranging them on the timeline
- Quarterly content drops through Inner Circle and Sonic Drop, adding new plugins, instruments, and sounds over the subscription term
- Includes a bundled set of virtual instruments and effects plugins so producers can start mixing without buying add-ons separately
