fMusic and fPost now run as Pro Tools Extensions: mix prep, AAF turnovers and stem exports, without leaving your session.
fMusic automates music deliverables. fPost automates audio post. Both open from the Extensions panel in Pro Tools, with the same account and plan as the apps.
fMusic Extension
Mix prep on import, any session reorganized to your naming, colors and routing (Suite), stems and alt mixes on delivery. Opened from the Extensions panel, as a full window or a side tab.
fPost Extension
AAF import, session reorganization and on-device content detection, opened from the Extensions panel, so your team starts mixing faster.
“fMusic took session prep off my plate after years of writing my own scripts. Inside Pro Tools it’s even better: I import, organize and print stems from the same window I mix in, without leaving the session. I hope it becomes the standard way of working in Pro Tools.”
The partnership
June 2025
Forte becomes an Avid Technology Partner. The same month fMusic ships export: full stem deliverables, automated.
April 2026
An AAF turnover prepped into a mix-ready Pro Tools session, demonstrated by Avid in Las Vegas.
September 2026
Avid previews Pro Tools Extensions in Amsterdam, third-party tools running inside Pro Tools, Forte among them.
November 2026
Both run inside Pro Tools 2026.11, from the Extensions panel, with the same account and plan as the apps.
Pro Tools Extensions, what is free and the partnership. If yours is missing, get in touch.
A Pro Tools Extension is a third-party tool that runs inside Pro Tools, opened from the Extensions panel as a full window or a narrow side tab, instead of as a separate application. Pro Tools 2026.11 introduces Extensions, and fMusic and fPost are two of them, each its own Extension.
No. Each Extension is the same product as its desktop app: a paid fMusic plan includes the fMusic Extension, a paid fPost plan includes the fPost Extension, and a plan bought from an Extension unlocks the desktop app too. Same account, same Studio, Suite and Lifetime plans, at the same prices as on the pricing page.
In Pro Tools 2026.11, open the Extensions panel or pick Extensions from the menu bar: fMusic Extension and fPost Extension are listed there. Pro Tools sends you to Avid’s Extensions page to download the installer; the same installers are on the Forte download page.
The first run starts a free 7-day trial with every feature and unlimited capacity, no account needed. The Visualizer is always free. After the trial you keep 2 imports or organizes a month on each Extension and 2 exports a month on fMusic. Limits sit on the final step, never on tracks or clips. AAF Checker stays free.
No. The Extension brings the same workflows into Pro Tools, so the session stays in front of you and you never switch apps. The desktop apps stay available with the same plan, for the rooms that prefer them.
No. The Extension runs the same on-device engine as the app: recognition and classification happen on your Mac, and nothing is uploaded. That is what makes it usable on material under NDA.
The Extensions need Pro Tools 2026.11 or later and macOS 13.5 or later, for fMusic and fPost alike.
