”Many things said in these videos are things I’ve heard come right out of producers’ and engineers’ mouths. Watching these videos is the next best thing to working with industry veterans … the knowledge of years of studio experience condensed into video.“ – Steve Duda, Engineer, Mixer, Programmer, Plug-In Product Developer
Nine Inch Nails, Sugar Ray, Rob Zombie, A Perfect Circle

MIDI can Help You Create Music Fast!

This series of videos also goes deep into MIDI in Pro Tools. MIDI is commonly used to record and edit virtual instruments (like virtual pianos, organs, etc…), synthesizers, drum machines, and other incredible plug-in instruments that sound as good as the real thing in almost all cases.

If you are producing Electronic Music this is a must-see! MIDI is the foundation of electronic music production and Ken Walden (your host) has been using MIDI since the mid 1980’s. In addition, acoustic instrument focused artists often use MIDI for putting ideas together.

The Power of Beat Detective!

This title also includes a section on using Beat Detective, a powerful automated editing tool you can use to really tighten up your songs. Professionals always edit tracks to make them sound better, and this tool allows them to take a professional drum editing session from 8 hours, down to 20 minutes or less.

Your trainer was a beta tester for this well crafted tool and knows how to get the most from Beat Detective. You will love Beat Detective!

More Mixing Tips & Tricks

Next we’ll take you further into the ways the Pro Tools mixer functions and will keep you on the path to making your tracks to sound like your favorite records.

The Pro Tools mixer is actually much more powerful and flexible than any “big” console you’ve seen on the cover of audio production magazines. Training is critical because figuring it out on your own would take a long, long time.
