Pro Tools Course

-

Learn all the fundamentals of creating music and how to arrange it within the latest iteration of Pro Tools 12. Our course has been designed to cover the basics; the hows and whys you need to know in order to take a Pro Tools session from initial set-up right through to the final mix. Along the way, our students will cover how to record and edit MIDI and digital audio. And then how to mix these recordings using ‘plug-ins’- processing effects that enhance and augment what has been captured for the project. Students will learn to apply what they learn in class to recording projects under the watchful eye of one of our instructors. Whether you’re a producer, songwriter, composer or an audio engineer, this course takes you by the hand and guides you through the full process of realising a full song from inception to conclusion. We’ll also do our very best to instill the good practice of housekeeping in all our students – ensuring your work is backed up at every stage of the way!

Our roster is full of certified instructors who use easy-to-follow techniques to lead project-based examples so that everyone is instructed in a straightforward, practical and fun way. You’ll feel supported and nurtured at every step, from the most basic music creation to the implementation of much more sophisticated production chops.
