WHAT THEY SAYTESTIMONIALSOUR GREAT CLIENTS
"I want to thank you for your time the past several days, especially for the post production aspect of the training. I admire your approach to teaching and patience, as well as to your knowledge on Pro Tools (and audio/signal/experience in general). You have definitely advanced my knowledge and expertise in the short time we spent together and I hope to be on your level someday. I’m also inspired to start making more music too!"
Steve Williams
"I got my user certification from another institution, the instructor there had the concepts down for training, but the difference between the two schools is night and day. The biggest difference was the instructors at Promedia. I passed my operator exam, and some of the little details in the instruction made this much easier. He has little tips and tricks to remember some of teh short-cuts and hot keys in Pro Tools.
Bryan Sansom
"With Dan’s excellent training I learned an amazing amount of content and became User and Operator certified. Dan Faber is a true asset to Promedia and I would give him the highest marks as an exceptional instructor. From Dan’s experience with teaching Pro Tools classes, he is able to focus his discussions on the topics that are most relevant and helpful for the student’s understanding of the material as well as for certification test preparation."
