    Included Software Update 
    Pro Tools Intro+ for Focusrite is replacing the current 3-month trial of Pro Tools Artist included with Scarlett 3rd Gen, 4th Gen, and Clarett+ audio interfaces. Unlike the trial, Pro Tools Intro+ for Focusrite is a perpetual license which does not expire.
     


    Avid has enhanced the existing Pro Tools Intro by bundling it with effects, instruments, and sounds available only in this iteration of Pro Tools Intro, hence the name Pro Tools Intro+ for Focusrite.


    This bundle is available to all Scarlett 3rd Gen, 4th Gen, and Clarett+ owners without any purchase date restrictions.
