How to use Wingman with Pro Tools
Open your Pro Tools session
Start by opening the Pro Tools session you want to work on. This can be a production, remix, vocal session, beat, or an arrangement that needs more musical ideas.
Choose the track or audio section that you want Wingman to listen to.
Add Wingman as an AAX plugin
Insert Wingman on the track you want to use as the source. Because Wingman supports AAX, it can be opened directly inside Pro Tools as part of your normal plugin workflow.
Open Wingman directly inside Pro Tools
Use Wingman as an AAX plugin in your Pro Tools session so you can build ideas without leaving the DAW.
Record audio into Wingman
Use Record Audio to capture the part of the Pro Tools session you want Wingman to hear. This could be a vocal phrase, melody, sample, loop, or full track section.
Wingman uses the recorded audio as the context for chord, bassline, stem, or MIDI workflows.
Choose the workflow you need
After recording audio, choose what you want to do next. You can generate chords, create a bassline, separate stems, convert audio to MIDI, or build a remix idea around a vocal.
Generate chords, basslines, MIDI, or stems
Use Wingman to create the musical or audio result you need. For example, you can generate chords from a vocal, create a bassline from the chords, separate a track into stems, or convert an audio phrase into MIDI.
This lets you use Wingman as a creative assistant inside the Pro Tools production workflow.
Build musical ideas from your Pro Tools audio
Use audio from your session as the starting point for chords, basslines, stems, MIDI, and remix ideas.
Edit the idea inside Wingman
Before exporting, refine the idea inside Wingman. You can try different chord options, adjust rhythms, choose sounds, use your own VST synths where supported, or add effects to shape the result.
The goal is to get the idea close enough that it becomes useful in your Pro Tools arrangement.
Export MIDI or WAV from Wingman
When the idea feels right, export it as MIDI or WAV. Use MIDI if you want to edit notes and instruments inside Pro Tools. Use WAV if you want to bring in the sound as audio.
You can use exported ideas as new tracks, supporting layers, remix parts, or arrangement starters.
Continue arranging in Pro Tools
Bring the exported MIDI or WAV into your Pro Tools session and keep producing. You can edit the arrangement, add effects, layer instruments, process stems, mix the audio, and build the full track around the Wingman idea.
