Save on Avid Pro Tools music production software and start creating magic

Typically, when you create music, whether a full-fledged track, background music for another project, or even just playing around, you have to use a variety of tools. You might have to jump between applications to do various things, like recording, applying post-production effects, and more. Avid Pro Tools is a comprehensive end-to-end audio production suite that aims to provide you with everything you need. With the tools, you can create, edit, produce, mix, master, and deliver, and much more.

Here’s the kicker: For New Year’s you can save 33% off and make music for a full year at a heavily discounted price. Normally, you’d pay $99 per year for Avid Pro Tools Artist, but right now it’s only $66 per year. That deal will only be available from December 31 to January 3, though, so there isn’t a lot of time if you want to take advantage.

If you’re already creating, well, then you’ll need a lot fewer apps or tools to get it done. Everything is available right in Avid’s suite, to do pretty much anything your musical heart desires.

Create, edit, and produce new tracks. All the while, you can access 32 audio and 64 MIDI tracks, utilize over 100 instruments and effects, and have up to 16 simultaneous recording inputs.

When you want to change things up, you can access plugins, sounds, and various effects. Moreover, a Pro Tools license includes quarterly feature updates which means the platform is consistently being improved.

Since Apple added “spatial audio” to the Apple Music streaming service and the AirPods family of wireless earbuds and headphones in 2021, it feels like you can’t read about new audio products or services without running into that term. And just a few short years later, it’s seemingly everywhere.

But when we think “kid-friendly,” sometimes we imagine products that are built to be a bit more throwaway than their adult counterparts. That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.
