Avid Learning Academy Program Upgrades to Pro Tools Artist
September 14 2022 - 4:10PM
Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID) is committed to nurturing the next
generation of artists and creators, and supporting equal access in
education. Today the company is pleased to announce that its
popular Avid Learning Academy program has transitioned to Pro Tools
Artist™, providing every student enrolled in the program free
access to the new Pro Tools Artist software.
“With Pro Tools Artist in hand, educators can have total
confidence that their students will be gaining the skills and
experiences that prepare them to fully explore their creativity and
career interests,” said Francois Quereuil, Vice President, Product
Management for Audio and Music Solutions, Avid. “While Avid
Learning Academy now provides a fun and exciting palette with
thousands of inspiring sounds and loops, hundreds of plug-ins and
even new virtual instruments, aspiring musicians will be excited to
know they can create in any genre with the same tools that today’s
most popular artists and producers use.”
The Avid Learning Academy program offers high schools a complete
curriculum to teach music and media production skills, aligned to
the U.S National Core Arts Standards and common CTE pathways in
Arts, Media, and Entertainment (AME). Students enrolled in
these programs can get a head start on college or their career by
learning on the music, TV and film industries’ most popular
creative tools and earning pathway certifications with Avid’s
industry-recognized professional credentials.
For music and audio engineering, the Avid Learning Academy
program previously included Pro Tools First, a powerful but
feature-limited version of Pro Tools. With the release of Pro
Tools Artist, Avid is deepening its commitment to empowering the
next generation of creators with access to an even more powerful
set of music creation tools, continuing to lower
the barrier to entry.
Pro Tools Artist is a brand-new subscription offering
specifically designed for the millions of next-gen music creators
looking to produce great songs, and includes everything needed to
make beats, write, record, and mix studio-quality music. And as the
Pro Tools session format is the industry’s universal language, they
can take their project to any producer or studio around the world
to collaborate and take their music to the next level. With
hundreds of inspiring instrument sounds and loops and over 100
included plugins, as well as easy-to-use MIDI tools and
industry-standard editing and mixing workflows, aspiring music
creators now have a professional yet affordable solution to create
any style of music.
- Make music easily with up to 32 audio tracks and 32 instrument
tracks
- Record up to 16 audio sources simultaneously
- Get inspired with over 100 virtual instruments and plugins,
including the new Pro Tools | GrooveCell™ and Pro Tools |
SynthCell™ virtual instruments
- Support for any Core Audio, ASIO, or WASAPI-compatible
interface
Avid is working closely with its publishing partner Rowman &
Littlefield to update all curriculum and program materials for the
2022-2023 academic year and with ThinkEDU to roll the program out
nationwide.
“This is an exciting update for students who not only benefit
from government funding to implement the program, but also now with
Pro Tools Artist can create and take their resulting projects to
any other Pro Tools system for further editing and finishing,” said
Michael Fischler, CEO of ThinkEDU. “The fact that it is free is
providing significant value to the Avid Learning Academy program,
which positions students for a career in the creative arts on a
platform that is ubiquitous in the industry when it comes to live
music, studio recording, and post production.”
