Getting Started with the Session Assistant

Start by making sure you have installed the latest version of Pro Tools, minimum version 2025.10.

Next, make sure you've installed at least SoundFlow 6.1.1 - installers are available here:

• SoundFlow installers
• System requirements

In the right side panel of Pro Tools, next to the Clip List, choose the SoundFlow panel.

If you've not yet signed in, you can now sign in with a SoundFlow account or an Avid account.

We recommend signing in with a SoundFlow account or creating a free one as it makes it easier to be in control of your password.

Start by choosing Sign in with SoundFlow and then follow the steps in the browser to either log into an existing account or to create a new one.

Once you're logged in, your SoundFlow panel should now be ready.

In the SoundFlow panel, click the Session Assistant to open it.

In the text field at the bottom, type your first request for the Session Assistant, then hit Enter or the send button.

If this is the first time you're using the Session Assistant, you'll be able to claim free credits:

Click Claim Your Credits Now to claim them.

Note: After this step, you may have to send your request again.

If you'd like to use your voice to control the Session Assistant, you can use the Mic input button:

To use it, click it once, start speaking, then click the green checkmark. Once you've confirmed the transcription was accurate, send the message like normal.

To control which audio interface and channel is used for the microphone input, click the hamburger icon:

And then click the Select Audio Input Device menu item.

This will show a popup menu with a list of all available audio interfaces. To test, use the Mic input button as described above.

Finally, we can set up a global keyboard shortcut that you can use to launch the Session Assistant from anywhere (as long as Pro Tools is running).

This will allow you to hold down a key combination, speak while holding it down, and then, when you release the keys, what you said will be transcribed and loaded into the Session Assistant and it'll automatically execute the request.

To set this up, click the hamburger menu:

And then click the Set up shortcut... menu item.

Finally, follow the instructions on screen.
