Getting Started With Pro Tools - Building A Session From Scratch

See this content in the original post

Over the coming weeks, we are going to run a series of free video tutorials produced by Recording Revolution's Graham Cochrane for Avid. Graham made this series in 2015 using Pro Tools 11 but so much of what Graham covers is still relevant and valid that we have decided to run his series here on Pro Tools Expert.

In Episode 1 Graham began by using one of the templates. In this episode, he shows how, to begin from a new blank session. Watch the free video tutorial to learn how to add tracks, use the master fader, use a Click track, apply reverb, use virtual instruments, and finally how to arrange your Mix and Edit windows In Pro Tools to match the way you like to work. 

More About This Series

Over this 7 part series, Graham will start with practising and working out the song in Pro Tools with the Duet interface using templates, then move through the process of recording guitar, bass and MIDI keyboards with Virtual Instruments. Then he will cover audio and MIDI editing all the way to the final mix and getting your song out the world.
