When I first opened Pro Tools, I had no idea what I was doing. I was overwhelmed by the layout, confused by the tools, and unsure where to even begin. Over the past 10 years working as an audio engineer and lecturer, I’ve figured out how to streamline my approach using AVID Pro Tools — in a practical, day-to-day, get-the-job-done way.
This course isn’t about overwhelming you with everything Pro Tools can do. Instead, I’ll show you exactly how I use it — how I set up my sessions, my go-to editing techniques, the file structures that keep me organized, and all the small tricks I’ve picked up through real-world projects.
There are slides to help break down concepts visually, and working files are included so you can follow along with me as we go. I’ll walk you through the same steps I use when I first started using AVID Pro Tools and share the lessons I wish I’d learned when I was starting out.
If you’re new to Pro Tools, or you’ve opened it a few times and immediately felt lost — this course is for you. I’m just a working engineer showing you what’s worked for me, in the hope it makes your own journey a little smoother.
