Student Testimonials
"I am extraordinarily thankful to (Mark Kirchner) for bridging some important gaps along this journey. I especially enjoyed the way this particular series of exams (Pro Tools 101 to Pro Tools 210) covered the entire spectrum of expected learning. Thanks to The Recording Arts Center, I really do feel pretty confident about my abilities with Pro Tools and have already begun to try my hand at engineering with my Control|24 setup at the University. I'll be sending some of my work in the near future." - Dowell Taylor, Jackson State University
"Pro Tools 101 was a great class! Drove from Vegas to get some training and I will drive back for more classes. Great instructor!" - Marcus Affeldt, Away Station
"Pat's a great instructor...it was amazing the little things I learned that are so important yet I didn't know after all these years of playing music." - John Deskovitz
"I learned a lot in this class (Audio Recording Techniques) and I am going to recommend it to anybody who wants to get into the recording business. Paul is a great teacher and I look forward to taking his Art of Mixing class." - Student
"I've enjoyed all the instructors so far...they have been fountains of information. And Mark goes the extra mile bringing in all his equipment." - Debbie Keough
"You guys will definitely see me again. I was very very happy with 101; I got far more out of it than I thought I would. Originally, I planned just to take 101, 110, 201, 210M...and then try to qualify as an operator. Now, I can better see that to be the operator I want to be there is a broader skill-set and knowledge out there to be acquired. I cannot tell you how exciting and inspiring this is to me. I am sold on TRAC and have added the Art of Mixing, Audio Recording Techniques, Songwriting, and the Waves course to my future enrollment plan." - Ben Oberlin

I enjoyed this class and will definitely take what I’ve learned and use it for future projects!" - Erin Pasch
