From his days as Vice President of MTV MUSIC RADIO GROUP to producing hit shows like "Kissology," to Executive Director of SiriusXM Volume, music industry icon, Roger Coletti discusses why he took it upon himself to attend Professional Pro Tools Certification at ProMedia Training, based in Los Angeles, CA. So, why would a high-level music industry executive attend Pro Tools Certification Training?
Roger Coletti's Pro Tools Certification Testimonial | MTV Exec to SoundUpPod
Coletti knew he was launching his own media and podcast company, "ROGER THAT MEDIA." With prestigious distribution deals through companies like ReVolver, he had to make sure his new podcast, "SoundUpPod," featuring music industry news, artists, and entertainment met the standards associated with high-profile celebrity guests.
Coletti’s video interview below explains how the tech industry is feeding the rapid growth of the podcast revolution, as well as how his training ensured the smooth launch of the new show.
On the other side, Coletti expresses how many podcasts are heavily compromised, not meeting the standards of a true professional production.
High-quality podcasts are few and far between, especially due to the lack of attention to the quality of the podcast's audio recording and mixing.
Coletti explains, "Podcast is audio-focused.....how can a podcast be great if the audio is bad? Using these podcast advertised off-the-shelf video editing apps does NOT fix the audio, nor give you a quality sound."
And "I wanted to make sure my own productions were delivered at the higest of standards" states the former MTV exec.
"I knew I needed complete quality control over my shows! How can I oversee an audio editing department if I do not understand the workflow and critical Pro Tools techniques myself?" Coletti states.
His recent successful launch of SoundUpPod.com is co-hosted with the original VJ’s of MTV, Mark Goodman and Alan Light. With Coletti as executive producer, he is back to interviewing a celebrity line-up of the Who's-Who in the music industry.
With over 50 episodes completed, he includes guests like Jimmy Jam, Pete Townsend, Linda Perry, Howard Jones, Def Leopard, Chris Carrabba, and dozens more.
A key discussion is how and why Roger Coletti took on learning and mastering Pro Tools at ProMedia Training to support the launch of, "Roger That Media."
These tech skills clearly gave him the ammunition to elevate the audio quality required for this level of sophisticated production often overlooked in the general Podcast Community.
and Yes, Roger Coletti passed his Pro Tools Certifiation exam.....Coletti states, "I just wanted to prove that I could do this," after he proudly obtained his Pro tools User Certification Status | AVID Specialist Badge.
With confidence, "I can now walk into any Podcast Production and know if the audio is being recorded and edited properly all the way down to mixing, effects, etc."
