So I’ll be teaching a round of mid-year ProTools v10 courses at AFTRS OPEN – being offered at highly competitive rates.

110 is the first “pro level” course, with a fast paced curriculum covering elastic audio in depth, intro to deeper automation features and advanced editing techniques and shortcuts.

201 starts you on the path to all things hardware, covering things like the new OMNI and MADI interfaces, HD Native cards vs HDX and gets into more detailed mixing and automation workflows.

210P is the hard-core post elective, into satellite connections, timecode workflows and is written with the pro tools audio post operator (who works in the industry already) in mind from beginning to end.

Plus if you do both Pro Tools 200 level courses, or Pro Tools 110 and both Pro Tools 200 level courses, you’ll receive special discounted rates (see below).

Hello to everyone and Happy New Year! If you follow my Sumsound facebook page you’ll know I’ve been upgrading my studio and having a fine time doing that. Some news thats new and approved for the start of 2012…

Apparently Waves are sitting very hard on the fence about supporting the new ProTools AAX DSP format. Online conjecture is rife and many fairly reliable sources are saying that Waves are holding out to see what the uptake is of the new Avid HDX core systems (that replace the ageing TDM technology) before committing to any development. As far as mixing goes, I really dont care if I have a bit of delay in my system, but for folks tracking/recording big sessions with waves plugins this creates a bit of a pickle. Email them if you have strong feelings on the matter!

I wrote a comprehensive review of PT10 for AudioTechnology magazine recently- you can read it online via their site, page 64!

I will be teaching the Avid ProTools short courses at AFTRS this year, we are offering PT101 over 6 x Tuesday nights in Feb and PT110 over 3 x Saturdays in late March early April. Any Sydney readers, please spread the word to any family/friends who are looking to speed up their PT chops.

If you haven’t already grabbed Valhalla FreqEcho you’re slow off the mark – an awesome free plugin for 2012!

On the paid plugin side of things, Abbey Road are half price at the moment – IMHO their Brilliance pack is..well…yknow

Anyone out there using Paul Neyrincks VControl Pro? Stay tuned for some awesome developments on that front this year. Can’t say more at this stage but some very nifty features coming to it soon.
