Pro Tools | First lets you set any track timebase to either sample-based or tick-based.
All tracks in Pro Tools are tick-based by default. This means that audio and MIDI clips, and Elastic Audio and MIDI note events are located at a specific bar and beat locations, and they do not move from that location if the tempo changes in the project—even though its sample location does change.
