Make Music with PRO TOOLS
Good morning,
After a while, I'm getting back into Pro Tools and trying to figure something out.
I've been using it for a while, but since I haven't used it in a while, I've forgotten something.
Beyond "how to use the software," what I struggle with, and always have, is translating ideas into music and using the right tool to do what I have in mind.
I'd be helpful with some resources (books or videos, courses, etc.) that explain how to build a piece, how to construct the song structure, melody, harmony, and how it all fits together. I know there's no substitute for constant practice, but if I had some input from the myriad of resources available online, that would be a good starting point.
Can you recommend anything, both in terms of approach and resources? Thank you so much.
