Re: Pro Tools | First - Not Available
 

Thank you all for raising your concerns over Pro Tools First.

Unfortunately, Pro Tools First has, on a technical level, become unviable for us to continue. Every alternative has been considered in the hope we could continue providing access to it, and we haven't taken the decision to end the program lightly. We've welcomed millions of users to the program, and we thank everyone for their support over the years, but time has come for us to discontinue Pro Tools First. We're now looking at alternatives to replace it with something new and compelling in the future, so watch this space.

Existing users of Pro Tools First can continue using the product to work on their projects. For those asking about Media Composer First and Sibelius First, we have no plans at this time to end those programs.

As we've posted before, if you're new to Pro Tools, you can get up and running with the Pro Tools and Pro Tools Ultimate trials, and we hope you enjoy the amazing features and workflows of the Pro Tools family.
