Pro Tools™

"Virtual studios" are now the norm for audio production in film, music, videogaming and broadcast media, and the cornerstone of these studios is almost always Pro Tools™ by Digidesign™.

At OIART we’ve been teaching digital audio technology for over 20 years, and use Pro Tools™ systems in all of our studios. From Day One to Graduation Day you’ll be immersed in Pro Tools™ projects, achieving skill levels measurably superior to those who take the manufacturer’s training courses.

Along with our numerous professional-level digital audio workstations, you’ll use a full range of digital devices common in virtual studios, including signal processors, synthesizers, samplers, digital consoles and multi-track digital recorders. Ultimately you’ll gain expertise in both the software and hardware and, just as significantly, precisely how to apply it in a wide variety of settings.
