If you are hoping to start a career in the recording industry you should consider taking an Avid Pro Tools Course with a certified instructor.
In today’s landscape, Avid Pro Tools is one of the most feature-filled Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) in the industry. It is widely considered the standard for all types of audio work, including music, film, and TV.
Pro Tools was created in the early 1980s under the name of Sound Designer, a Mac-based sample editing software package created to edit samples. Sound Designer evolved into Sound Tools, which became Pro Tools in the 1990s.
But what sets Pro Tools apart from other DAWs and why should you dedicate time to learn how to best use it? Let’s find out.
Pro Tools is the industry-standard DAW

It’s called the industry standard because it currently is the most widely used DAW in recording studios and post-production facilities across the world, and you will be expected to have mastered the tool. Pro Tools offers all the features you need to process signals, mix tracks, edit, and record audio, all in one package.
Pro Tools has excellent features that make it stand out from other DAWs. It supports multiple channel formats, including Atmos, which means it’s an outstanding tool for working with movies.
