Pro Tools Course | San Francisco

This course is designed to help you get to grips with the basic principles and fundamental skills needed to create and arrange music in Pro Tools 12. You’ll learn how to set up sessions and follow this right through to the final mix-down, all the while using Pro Tools 12’s latest features. This will include MIDI recording and editing techniques, mixing, recording and editing digital audio and how to use ‘plug-ins’ (processing effects). Course participants will get the chance to apply what they’ve learned in class to recording projects under the supervision of an instructor. It’s a course that will be of interest to audio engineers and producers, songwriters and composers as all are walked through the creative and practical processes of seeing a song through from conception to completion, delivery and back up!

Our certified trainers are brilliant at step-by-step instruction, using music projects to illustrate their explanations, beginning by teaching basic music creation skills and then progressing through to more advanced production techniques.
