Hi,

I just got a brochure from Digidesign advertising for DigiWorld in Nashville. In the brochure there was a section about Pro Tools 101. A one hour course at the show that gives hands on instruction. The final paragraph said this:

Pro Tools 101 gives you the chance to get a hands-on tutorial with a Digidesign instructor, who'll take you through real-world exercises like comping vocals, editing a drum take or cleaning up a guitar track.

So, I got to thinking. I've never "cleaned up a guitar track". What exactly is cleaning up a guitar track? What exactly is the benefit of comping vocals? What do you do when you edit a drum take? If these are real world excersies then maybe I have missed somethings in my self taught knowledge.

So here is the question. Does anyone know if the there are online classes that can give this kind of instruction using your own equipment. Courses that are based on general recording techiques and can be used on just about any multitrack software instead of requiring $6,000+ software and hardware. Something that gives you access to instructors who can review what you make and give you suggestions?

Anyone seen this?
