The goal of the Pro Tools class is to give students a deep understanding of the concept and operation of this industry standard computer-based production tool, as well as a hands-on approach based on the instructor’s experience. Students will acquire an in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of Pro Tools as a recording and editing tool. Each class will be held as a workshop. Students will be familiarized with modes of operation, setting record levels and multi-track techniques. These basic yet important lessons will evolve into task specific operations, such as overdubbing to create an arrangement or setting up to track live drums. The last part of the course will focus on editing, consolidating, and saving the work for mix sessions.
