However, the course is intended as a basic recording course, not a ProTools tutorial. The vast majority of the content will be applicable to any type of recording application or system.
Pre-requisites: No prior recording or music experience is required, although basic computer skills are highly recommended. 'Tracks' is designed for ages 14 through adult.
