Capstone Recording Project: The parameters of this recording project are only limited by your imagination. If you're not sure then please discuss it with me. I will make available mics and stands. You must use Pro Tools 8 for your recording and editing. I will post these as well as other student projects on WebCT for all to enjoy.
Pro Tools 110: Essentials of Pro Tools provides a more detailed look at the Pro Tools system. This course covers all the key concepts and skills needed to operate a Pro Tools LE system. The course provides the foundation for the later 200-series Pro Tools Music Production and Post Production courses. (The 200-series courses are offered at Pro Training Centers world- wide.) |
