| burgundy | Posted – 7/1/2006 12:04:34 PM | show profile Thanks, Weller. Would such a course be in the Dept. of Music? I think I'd be better served taking a full semester rather than doing an intensive course. Do you know if New School offers a full semster in the fall? Or if you know of other schools, like Brooklyn College, Pratt, NYU, Columbia, whatever, doesn't matter, I just need to find take this class. |

| burgundy | Posted – 7/3/2006 9:36:48 PM | show profile Hi Domestic Are you in NY? Digidesign, the makers of Pro Tools, offers courses taught by certified instructors; there are facilities around the globe. They're really expensive, though, and I'm hesitant to take an immersion course just to find out that I've forgotten everything once on the job. On the other hand, seems I have no choice. I emailed about 12 or 13 different academic institutions, from NY to Maine (and incidentally I emailed Mediabistro to find out if they're offering a course this winter. They said to check back in a few months). If money is no object for you, check out the Digidesign website. It's about $1300 for a 3-day session. I have to be pretty proficient by the time I complete my course, so I think I'm going to invest in several courses, ranging from beginners to advanced. But if you hear of something cheaper, please do be in touch. Good luck to you. |

They run about $600 each. First course begins in Sept. They allow only 8 students per session, so you might want to sign up soon. Good luck |
