Producers yearned for new ways to experiment within a DAW, and DJ culture brought its use into live performance as well. Today, many artists across genres also use dynamic backing tracks on stage in some way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amidst these steps forward, Avid was posed with a challenge to navigate the line between tradition and evolution. In late 2023, they delivered on that with a brand-new, in-DAW view, with an entirely different file format and a standalone iPad app to pair with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Tutorial\">How to use Pro Tools Sketch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro Tools Sketch introduces a clip-launching, loop-based workflow that allows you to experiment with ideas non-linearly and create song starters before committing anything to the main timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To explore Sketch for the first time, launch the <strong>Pro Tools Dashboard<\/strong> and go to <strong>GETTING STARTED<\/strong> \u2192 <strong>Open Demo Sketch.<\/strong> A listen is worth a thousand words\u2014in the video below, Avid uses this demo to break down how the <strong>Clip Launcher,<\/strong> <strong>Tabs,<\/strong> and <strong>Arrangement<\/strong> workflows function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Pro Tools Sketch Demo Overview\" width=\"370\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_xFtGLtSoVw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As shown above, the Edit view organizes audio as a single linear composition, with a separate window providing a mixing console. The Sketch view, by contrast, organizes music into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Sets of clips that can be launched individually or in combination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tempo-synced cells that create a loop pedal-style production experience for both MIDI and audio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexible structures that encourage rapid idea building and recombination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Pro Tools Sketch is about experimentation, allowing the workstation to collaborate with you rather than get in your way when inspiration is flowing. With Sketch, you can build out song sections a lot more dynamically, which could lead to results you might&#8217;ve not landed on without mixing and matching clips. You can also test how separate tracks transition between one another, whether you need to do so for a cohesive DJ set or you&#8217;re looking for a more intentional setlist with your band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once an idea feels good, you can move it into the traditional Pro Tools workflow by simply dragging your clips, scenes, or entire arrangements into the timeline for detailed editing and refinement. The <strong>Pin<\/strong> button on the top left of the Sketch interface also allows you to attach your Sketch to a Pro Tools session so that the two always open together, and the <strong>Sync <\/strong>button locks your Sketch&#8217;s tempo to your Pro Tools session tempo and transport control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some creators might choose to perform directly from Sketch view, while others will treat it as a launching pad for deeper production work. Either way, the process of arriving at a finished track becomes more fluid and exploratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Splice\">Use Splice samples in Pro Tools Sketch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it\u2019s time we get practicing. While Pro Tools offers some built-in sounds, we dragged in samples from three distinct sample packs on <a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Splice Sounds<\/a> to have some fun. A number of samples from these packs were brought together, reshaped, and joined by some MIDI additions of our own, along with some stock samples from Pro Tools. Have a listen to some moments from the jam session:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio alignwide\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Basic-Sketch-1.mp3\" preload=\"auto\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To check out the samples we used, be sure to explore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/packs\/black-octopus\/tasty-tech-house-by-blackwarp\/samples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Tasty Tech House by Blackwarp<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/packs\/signal-path\/booker-stardrum-tactile-wood\/samples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Booker Stardrum &#8211; Tactile Wood<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/sounds\/packs\/jazzfeezy\/pearls-2-ty\/samples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Pearls 2 (TY)<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter your genre, sketching can open up new worlds.
