MUSC 247 Pro Tools Fundamentals
Pro Tools is, worldwide, the standard digital audio workstation for audio recording, editing, and mixing in studios and music production facilities. Understanding its operation, features, and workflows is required for the production of all music genres today, from the small studio to the largest scoring stage. This course will take students with no experience in Pro Tools and equip them with the knowledge and hands-on training to prepare them for the Avid Certified User for Pro Tools exam by covering all the material in Avid’s Pro Tools Fundamentals I (PT101) and Pro Tools Fundamentals II (PT110) curricula. The PT101 course introduces fundamental Pro Tools concepts and principles, covering everything one needs to know to complete a basic Pro Tools project, from initial setup to final mixdown. The PT110 course builds on PT101 by introducing the core concepts and techniques students need to become competent in operating a Pro Tools system for mid-sized recording sessions. Both this course and MUSC 249, Recording Techniques, are required to run recording sessions in the Booth first-floor recording studio. Instructor permission required.
