With the new Clip Effects feature, you can apply real-time EQ and dynamics to a single clip or clip group on your timeline, enabling you to assign different settings across multiple clips on a track. (Pro Tools | HD only)
Single-system re-recorder workflows—in the box
With Pro Tools 12.6, you can achieve pristine, click-free sound by completing all single-system post re-recorder workflows “in the box”. The system calibrates and time aligns your stems, so there are no latency or audio artifacts when you punch in and out or switch tracks. (Pro Tools | HDX only)
Edit layers of audio more easily
A new multi-layer editing mode makes it easier than ever to handle overlapping clips. Quickly clear overlaps, heal clips, trim starts and ends, and get faster access across multiple playlists with new key commands.

Easily scan and verify if there are multiple playlists on any given track with new visual indicators. And automatically send overlapped clips to new or existing playlists.
Easily adjust fades in real-time
With Pro Tools 12.6, you can quickly adjust a fade in, fade out, or the shape of a crossfade directly in the Edit window using the Smart Tool—with real-time waveform updates.
