I would get a used HD Accel system to start, and use that to keep your skills current. Having enough gear to get the job done is obviously a prerequisite as well, but that doesn't necessarily mean you need an HDX rig. You just need to learn how to identify and filter out these people so they don't waste too much of your time). (I say almost, because there are a lot of B.S.'ers in this industry that act like they have connections and can get work for you, but don't, and never will. used for this purpose are almost always money well spent. Knowing people who can send you work is the only way you ever will make any money. The single most valuable thing I've ever invested in related to this industry is the time spent to network with other people. Either way if you do go for it, GOOD LUCK! If you tell someone you are certified it gives an air of knowledge and trust to those that don't really understand tracking or mixing, but that is just my opinion. Also, I believe having the Cert is a good selling point if you are trying to book people to record in your studio (whether it be an official studio or project). I am an Alumni of the school, it is a good place to learn and definitely if you are thinking of the Pro-Tools cert. I have a bunch of friends that got their Pro-Tools cert that way. Well if you are going to do the Pro-Tools cert I will tell you that IAR(Institute of Audio Research) on University by Union Square offers an AMP program which teaches you micing, recording, and techniques for movie production and ALSO comes with a Pro-Tools cert, and doesn't cost as much as you are saying. Also, I was the only person who was interested in more than 'making beats' with ProTools. I went to open houses for ProMedia Training and I was the nerd in the room that knew the answer to most questions. ![]() Question Is: Is a $6,000 certification course a better investment than saving the tuition payments and using the money towards purchasing an HDX rig? That said, 85% of the ‘pros’ I know tend to say that certification isn’t worth it. Is certification JUST for people who want to work at a major record label? I know the education would certainly benefit me in my project studio environment and maybe even drum up better/more business as clients might feel me a more reputable engineer knowing I was certified. Yeah, yeah.sounds cool.but is it worth it?įirst off, I will admit that while I may be better than average in regards to navigating and using ProTools, I know undoubtedly that I still have something to learn. I'm interested in the 14 day course that, upon completion (and passing) 3 exams, I will be a ProTools certified operator at the expert level. ![]() If anyone has gone to either ProMedia Training OR Future Media Concepts in New York City, I would LOVE some insider info. I live in NYC and two Avid authorized training centers are within arm’s reach of each other.
