Michael Ault pulls off the Pro Tools Expert "Double Whammy"!

On Friday afternoon, the 21st of September at 5:45pm in the afternoon, Michael Ault passed the daunting Pro Tools 310P Expert Exam, his second successful expert exam in taken in just two weeks after having passed the Expert Music Expert Exam the Friday before. In all seriousness, Mike has completed something that very few people have even attempted. The Expert Exams compiled by the folks up at Digidesign are intended to be real-world stress tests to determine that you really know your stuff.

Michael was really well prepared for this set of exams. He came into the 310 classes having a very solid knowledge of his keyboard shortcuts and modifier keys. This is a major advantage as one third of the Expert Exam is comprised of a 90-question segment based on solely on quick-keys and control surface shortcuts.

Michael is interested in recording film scores. It was evident from watching him work in the Post class that he has a strong aptitude for the concepts of sync and working with audio to picture. He departed from the classrooms of
TRAC on Friday afternoon directly for the City of Angels. In L.A., he hopes to land a gig as an intern with Danetracks or NRG. We wish him the best of luck confidently knowing that he'll be a huge asset to any studio that takes him on.

Good luck Michael and job well done!
