Learn Pro Tools

It's almost (3) hours total of video content, broken down into easily digestible short lessons.  This course is organized into multiple modules, with each module containing multiple video lessons within it.  You can go at your own pace and your progress will be tracked along the way; making it easy to pick up exactly wherever you left off.

You need a computer and a copy of the Pro Tools software.  The wonderful thing about Pro Tools is that you can do almost everything "In The Box" if you choose to.  If you want to introduce external instruments, audio from microphones, or any other source of musical signal, then you will need to know how to get that source into your computer.  If you don't know how, we have a course for that.  But assuming you do know how to make music or direct others to produce the sounds, then recording it inside of Pro Tools is what this course is for.

Well to put in plainly...it's coming from us.  We use Pro Tools every single day, and we have a complex of pro studios on our campus that are fiilled with people who use Pro Tools every single day.  But we wanted to make this introduction higher quality in terms of what you learn, and at a very affordable price.

Inside Blackbird is separate website that offers a monthly subscription service with individual episodes exploring all aspects of Producing, Engineering, Mixing, and Performing. We even cover the live production side of the concert business. It's MasterClass for music.  What's different here is this is a single course focused in one area; in this case dedicated to learning the fundamentals of how to capture high quality audio for your music projects.  The level of detail we go into in this course, the hours of content provided, and the nature of compensating the creators involved require us to offer courses in a different presentation package and price point.  We'd love you to subscribe to ww.InsideBlackbird.com to learn all sorts of other things related to music production there .  But this course is a completely stand-alone experience.

We're called "Inside Blackbird" because we are an educational video team that is based inside the world famous Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee.  Founded by legendary sound engineer John McBride and his country superstar wife, Martina McBride, in 2002, Blackbird Studio is known for its state-of-the-art production facilities and unparalleled collection of vintage and modern recording equipment.  Because of this, it has been a creative home to many of the top artists, producers, and engineers who have recorded some of the most successful and classic albums of all time.
