Beginning with the fall 2008 quarter, MI will be offering Digidesign Certification courses to all students enrolled in the Certificate in Audio Engineering program. With MI’s official designation as a Digidesign Sponsored School, students will be able to take Digidesign’s Pro Tools 101 and 110 courses as part of their regular course schedule.

Pro Tools curriculum includes:

Pro Tools 101: Introduction to Pro Tools covers basic Pro Tools principles, giving you what you need to complete a Pro Tools project, from initial set up to final mixdown. The course has been dramatically reworked and updated for Pro Tools 7 software. Whether your project involves recording of live instruments, MIDI sequencing of software synthesizers, or audio looping, this course will give you the basic skills to succeed.

Pro Tools 110: Essentials of Pro Tools provides a more detailed look at the Pro Tools system. This three-day course covers all the key concepts and skills needed to operate a Pro Tools system. The course provides the foundation for the later 200-series Pro Tools Music Production and Post Production courses.
