Pro Tools 10 - Beginners

Introducing Pro Tools 10, the next generation of the most widely used audio production software in the world! There are many new features in version 10 including the ability to adjust gain levels with Clip Gain, use multiple audio formats in one session, and export your mixes directly to Sound Cloud. There are over 70 on-board instrument and effect plug-ins, a professional toolset, up to 24-bit/192 kHz high-resolution recording and mixing, and support for a variety of AVID audio or third-party interfaces. Without a doubt, Pro Tools 10 provides more creative flexibility than ever before! In this DVD, host Andrew Eisele will break it all down for the beginner or intermediate user by providing an in-depth overview of the Pro Tools interface including the Edit and Mix windows, the Transport, and the file menus. Next, he'll show you how to import a variety of files into a Pro Tools session, as well as how to record and edit audio and MIDI. Then, using several of the onboard virtual instruments including the Boom drum machine, the Xpand 2 multitimbral synthesizer, and the Structure Free, an RTAS sample player, Andrew will build up a track from scratch while showing you how to create an efficient workflow within the program. In the mixing segment, you'll learn how to use many of Pro Tool's sound-processing effects and utility plug-ins. Andrew will explain compression, equalization, how to create aux tracks and busses, insert effects, and many other useful production techniques that will take your tracks to a new level. Finally, you'll bounce your track to disk so you can create your own CD or upload your music to the web. Along the way you'll learn many tips and techniques Andrew has developed from teaching Pro Tools. If you're looking to quickly understand the fundamentals of Pro Tools 10, this DVD is a must-have!
