Acoustica 7.7 Out Now Featuring Pro Tools ARA Compatibility
Our Acoustica Software Suite has been a trusted solution for audio editing, post-production, podcast creation, mastering, and audio repair for over two decades, delivering rock-solid performance and unparalleled sonic quality.
Today, we are excited to announce the release of Acoustica 7.7 with ARA support for Pro Tools (version 2024.10 and later). This new deeper integration enables a much faster workflow, eliminating the need to roundtrip audio between the two applications.
Also, to celebrate Pro Tools ARA compatibility for Acoustica, a brand new Acoustica Essentials ARA plugin is now available free to Pro Tools Artist, Studio, and Ultimate customers with active subscriptions and perpetual upgrade plans, enabling a variety of audio issues to be fixed quickly and transparently at no extra cost.

Addressing a wide range of audio production challenges, Acoustica excels in cleaning up recordings by removing noise, clicks, and pops, and restoring audio to pristine quality. The onboard deep learning tools can rescue dialogue with background noise, making it ideal for post-production work. Additionally, Acoustica supports multi-track editing, allowing for precise adjustments and seamless integration of various audio elements.
Alongside the fast and intuitive audio editor, Acoustica Premium Edition boasts advanced features like spectral editing with powerful retouch algorithms and multi-channel support up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.2. Additionally, the Premium package includes many Acon Digital products, enhancing your audio editing experience even further.
Founder and CEO of Acon Digital Stian Aagedal shares: “ARA integration in Pro Tools is a very welcome addition to Acoustica and will greatly improve the workflow for our users. Having the full feature set of the clip editor directly available from the Pro Tools timeline, instead of rather tediously having to transfer clips, speeds up editing significantly.”
“We're thrilled to work with Acon Digital to deliver tighter integration with Acoustica and give our music and sound-for-picture customers the most streamlined workflows possible," says Rob D’Amico, Senior Director of Pro Tools Product Management at Avid. “And the new included Acoustica Essentials ARA plugin gives Pro Tools users a powerful toolset to tackle a range of audio challenges quickly and efficiently.”
