In-the-box ProTools mixing

Post by RobRaede » Wed Mar 09, 2022 11:38 am

Hi guys,
If I wanted to improve my mixing chops using PT and my computer, where is a good place, or what is a good method/course for learning? Any great suggestions?
Thanks!

Its worth checking this out before you go any further.....

However, if you're sure you want a mixing course, as has been said, Youtube has a ton of free stuff (although often leading to paid content), and from that you'll probably find out who presents things in the way that makes most sense for you. Not all use PT but that shouldn't matter too much if its mixing concepts that are of interest. As a start you might try looking at these places plus their free Youtube offerings...

.....but the list of sites with worthwhile content is endless. Whether or not any of it suits your needs has to be up to you though.

THanks everyone, this is good stuff. I’ll definitely keep busy for a while.

Hey Rob, this is gonna be a little sales-pitchy, but I just finished taking the 200 level ProTools courses from a guy named Frank Cook, who writes the textbooks for Avid (who makes ProTools).

While not a mixing class, Frank DOES teach you every single element of the program. I gotta say, after being a dedicated ProTools user for nearly 12 years now, and having made in excess of 4,000 tracks on the program, there was so much I learned that I had no idea ProTools was even capable of. Not only that, but the shortcuts and workflow strategies are immeasurable time-savers.

It won't teach you how to mix or develop your ears, but you'll walk away with a ton of knowledge about the program, which will in turn help your mixing. You could reach out to Frank directly on his website if you're interested:
