If you are new to audio or just new to Pro Tools … it can be daunting. Pro Tools is an incredibly deep application that is used, not just for podcasts, but also for film, tv, music, audiobooks and so much more. Not all of these workflows are the same! If you’ve struggled to get started (What are slip and shuffle? What’s automation? Why are my files always missing?) or are just intimidated by the idea, this is the class for you!

Join award winning engineer and producer Michael Raphael for a primer in Pro Tools basics. Michael will walk you through best practices for setting up a session, editing within Pro Tools and a few novel workflows to help you work quickly and confidently. You’ll leave comfortable with the software and ready to dive in on your own.

 

Prerequisites
In order to take this course you must:

  • Have access to Pro Tools and ensured that you can open the software
  • Have some sound files (MP3, WAV) on hand that you can work with during class

Nice to have

  • A full-sized keyboard with a numeric keypad. If you have one, bring it to class. Pro Tools has some handy shortcuts that rely on the numeric keypad, which will be reviewed. 

*This class is capped at 15.

 

Who's this class for?

This class is geared toward beginners. No previous experience required. Students are encouraged to follow along with their own material.
