Having a good grounding is a big advantage, but you could do worse than simply working your way through the PT manual and actually trying everything that's in there. It seems to me it boils down to knowing what the software is capable of, getting your chops together with keyboard shortcuts and knowing how to manage a session (backing up files, troubleshooting a mac that's gone down etc). After that, it's really about a general understanding of how studio kit works - mixer routing, what all the plug-ins do (cf. hardware equivalents)...

Hey you're right though, definately helps to read the manual.
I've had Protools for a year this time, and I like it, just not that motivated to learn the "gimicky stuff". I do mostly rock but have had more chances to work with rap/dance stuff lately and haven't had the time to explore. I guess I don't know what I don't know
I'd like to learn the stuff that's not in the 500+ page manual, and how good these types of classes really are?
Beyond that, I was wondering if this expert rating would get you anymore work than without it, out in the "real world"?
I'll float this over at the DUC, wonder what they'll say over there
peace
