The Delta Music Institute’s entertainment industry program at Delta State University will offer two weekends of professional instruction and certification in Pro Tools, the recording industry standard for audio recording software.

The workshops, which are open to all interested parties, are scheduled for Jan. 13-15 and Jan. 20-21, 2018 and will be held in Studio B at the DMI on the campus of Delta State. Seating is limited to 10 registrants.

As the sole AVID Learning Partner in the state of Mississippi, Delta State’s DMI program is credentialed to offer training and professional certification in audio production, recording, mixing and related multimedia training.

The Pro Tools training sessions will be offered in two separate courses over two weekends with a daily schedule from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Pro Tools Fundamentals I (PT101) course introduces fundamental Pro Tools concepts and principles during a three-day workshop at a cost of $650. The Pro Tools Fundamentals II (PT110) course, covered during a two-day workshop, expands upon the basic principles taught in the PT101 course and introduces the core concepts and techniques needed to competently operate a Pro Tools system running mid-sized recording sessions. The cost for Pro PT 110 is $550. Together with PT 101, PT 110 provides the training required to prepare for the Avid Certified User certification exam. If the two courses are taken together, the registration fee is $950 for both classes. Discount pricing is available for students.

The workshops at the DMI will be taught by Travis Calvin, instructor in entertainment industry studies at Delta State. Calvin teaches multiple audio courses in the DMI program and is an AVID Certified Instructor.

Avid certification helps professionals attain and demonstrate the skills and credentials they need to increase their value, competency and efficiency in the highly competitive media industry.
