With its most feature-packed update in years, Pro Tools 8 now gives you a full recording studio in a box!
Pro Tools is the industry standard for working with audio. Now, with the release of version 8, Pro Tools has brought their MIDI capabilities up to par with other DAWs. In "Pro Tools 8 101: Core Pro Tools," Scott Freiman takes you through the basics of working with Pro Tools 8 -- from recording and editing audio to using the new MIDI editors.
You always learn something when you watch an expert use software ... even the most knowledgeable Pro Tools user will pick up scores of tips, tricks, and shortcuts while watching this tutorial.
If you always thought Pro Tools was only a recording application, this tutorial will quickly show you how useful the Pro Tools MIDI editing features can be! You'll learn valuable tricks for recording and editing MIDI to make original compositions without resorting to other applications like Sibelius (and if you do use Sibelius, be sure to check out our Sibelius 101: Core Sibelius tutorial).
But of course, it would not be Pro Tools if we didn't cover recording and editing audio itself. Scott covers everything you need to know to make great music. From recording like a pro to mixing, from adding DSP effects to automating those effects so they evolve through time ... this tutorial will help you get the most out of Pro Tools 8!
This is a comprehensive tutorial, but you don't need to watch the entire show. Use the comprehensive menus and keyword search features to quickly find topics of interest ... that's the essence of Nonlinear Educating!
