Pro Tools Course Guide

AVID Pro Tools Course Guide

Starting from March 2024, we will be offering an AVID Pro Tools course.

The course consists of a total of 55 lessons, focusing on the features of Pro Tools itself, Audio Editing, and Recording — rather than special mixing or mastering techniques.

Direct introductions and explanations of plugins such as EQ and COMP will not be provided in this course.

Course Notes

1 – The course will always be based on the latest version of Pro Tools.
Since Pro Tools receives updates in March, June, September, and December, the course content may change at any time even while updates are being released.

2 – The course is conducted using the Pro Tools Ultimate version, so features may differ from Pro Tools Intro or Studio versions.

3 – The course is based on a Mac with an M1 chip. There may be many differences compared to Windows and older Intel Macs. Keyboard shortcuts for Windows will not be covered.

The version of Pro Tools and macOS used during the production of each lesson will be noted in every lecture.
