RJD2 posts a photo of his DAW session on Twitter, showing he uses Pro Tools for his productions.

In an emusician article about the making of his 2013 album More Is Than Isn't, he talks about using Pro Tools:

“I’ll chop up samples and pitch them to where it sounds natural,” he replies. “I try to keep it at A 440. But sometimes I forget to do that. Some of my older songs are between A and A-flat. Often I will start at 440 as closely as possible and still end up pitching stuff. With analog synths, you have to consider their ability to stay in pitch. I reference things against the Rhodes to know if it’s bang-on in terms of 440. Other times, I’m in the mixing phase and I’ll have to fix the pitch using the pitch shift in Pro Tools.”

Since 2013, RJD2 still uses Pro Tools quite a bit. In an interview with Reverb.com, Ramble mentioned that in the new 2016 album Dame Fortune, he had used Pro Tools to record everything in the album.
