How to Use Wingman With Pro Tools

Open your Pro Tools session

Match the DAW tempo to the source and align the phrase with the grid before capturing it. If Wingman 3 reports a tempo mismatch, check the project tempo and source alignment, then record the phrase again.

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

Install the AAX component offered by the current Wingman installer and restart Pro Tools if needed. Open Wingman from the plugin insert menu for a suitable source track and confirm it receives the phrase you want. If it is missing, check the current installer and support guidance before changing the session routing.

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.

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

Put rendered audio on an audio track and MIDI on a suitable instrument track with a sound assigned. Compare clip position, tempo, notes and effect tails with the Wingman preview. Save and reopen the session to check that the plugin state and exported parts are retained.
