Student Testimonials

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

In August I was the Pro Tools Expert for a hip hop production in LA and in September they took me to New York with them for 3 weeks. I was the Expert there for their off broadway run of the show. There is a tentative nationwide tour scheduled for January!

(Pro Tools 101) completely satisfied my expectations. It allowed me to connect my new skills with previous knowledge and hopefully future knowledge as well.
