Pro Tools Courses

Pro Tools is the most widely used Digital Audio Production system in the world. The hardware and software was developed by Digidesign, a division of Avid Technology, and is used for recording and editing in music production, film scoring, and film/television post production. Avid manufactures systems that fit any budget, from $200 to $2,000,000. Because of the standardized software, these systems are all compatible with each other, which allows the user a great deal of flexibility. You can record in a professional studio with a fully loaded Pro Tools system – save your session to a hard drive and work with it in your bedroom on your $200 system – move back and forth between any number of Pro Tools facilities. This puts world class production at the fingertips of anyone with Pro Tools know how. HIT is in partnership with Avid’s Educational Division, and offers official Pro Tools certification. Pro Tools 101, 110 and 130 certification courses are included in the Audio Engineering and Music Production Program and are also offered separately. Pro Tools 201 and 210 certification courses are included in the Advanced Recording Artist program and also offered separately.
