Product overview

Forte AI is a macOS automation toolkit for audio professionals working in Pro Tools and Logic Pro. It combines three products: fPost for AAF import and post-session prep, fMusic for mix prep and stem export, and AAF Checker for free AAF inspection.

The products run locally on the user’s Mac and are designed to reduce repetitive setup work before mixing or delivery. fPost focuses on post-production turnovers, fMusic automates routing and stem printing for music workflows, and AAF Checker lets users inspect an AAF before import to see tracks, clips, metadata and what may or may not survive the process.

Core features

AAF import and session prep

Imports AAFs into Pro Tools sessions and organizes the result into a mix-ready structure.

AI content detection

Uses on-device recognition to classify dialogue, music and SFX, then maps them to the chosen template before the session is touched.

DX / MX / SFX splitting

Separates AAF material into dedicated Dialogue, Music and SFX sessions when that workflow is needed.

Metadata inspection

Reads clip-level metadata such as channel name, scene, take, source timecode and NLE origin, and flags incomplete data.

Stem export and batch queues

Handles mix prep, routing, naming and stem export in Pro Tools and Logic Pro, including background bounces and batch processing.

Free AAF review

Checks any AAF for tracks, clips, metadata and survivability before import, without requiring an account.

Common use cases

  • Post houses handling AAF turnovers

    Prepare post-production turnovers by importing an AAF, classifying the content, matching it to a session template, and opening a structured Pro Tools session ready to mix.

  • Mix engineers printing stems and alternates

    Automate mix prep and stem delivery for songs or projects that need repeated routing, naming and alternate prints across one or more sessions.

  • Editors validating incoming AAFs

    Review an AAF before committing to import so the team can see tracks, clips, metadata and potential loss points in advance.

  • Studios standardizing room workflows

    Process recurring deliverables across a facility with shared templates and consistent naming so different engineers land sessions in the same structure.

  • Teams working through batch deliverables

    Queue batch jobs for longer session lists or album work so import prep and stem printing can continue in the background without supervision.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Runs locally on the user’s machine with no cloud upload required.
  • Covers two distinct audio workflows: post-production turnover prep and music mix deliverables.
  • Supports both Pro Tools and Logic Pro for fMusic, with Pro Tools support for fPost.
  • Includes a free forever AAF Checker for previewing AAF contents before import.
  • Offers a free 7-day trial for the paid products.

Cons

  • fPost is limited to Pro Tools 2024.3 and later on macOS 13+.
  • fMusic and fPost are tied to the workflows and templates supported by the product, so teams need to teach each tool their existing structure.
