ProMedia Training has been named the first U.S. Solid State Logic Professional Training Partner and is now offering Certified SSL Training for modern DAW mixing workflows. The new Mixing with SSL program expands ProMedia’s professional audio education portfolio beyond Avid Pro Tools and Dolby Atmos certification, offering participants an intensive training course designed to teach audio engineers how to elevate the quality, balance, and impact of their mixes.
The program applies SSL’s time-proven mixing methodologies and console-inspired workflows within today’s DAW-based production environments. Ashleigh Davies, head of SSL Educational Programmes and Services, said they are pleased to select ProMedia Training as the first Professional SSL Certified Training Partner in the U.S. Davies noted ProMedia has established itself as a results-driven leader in continuing audio education with Grammy-winning mixing instructors.
Building on more than 25 years of audio education leadership, ProMedia Training is extending its proven software certification model to deliver comprehensive mixing courses for modern DAW users. The program is designed for audio engineers, post-production mixers, and intermediate to advanced users of Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase, FL Studio, and other digital audio workstations.
Available as either live online interactive instruction or in-person training in Los Angeles and Miami, with New York and Atlanta courses planned for the future, the small-class-sized program combines hands-on learning and real-world instruction. The 16-hour course is delivered initially across four live-online sessions and provides students with one year of complimentary access to more than 100 SSL and Slate Digital plugins and 50-plus hours of exclusive SSL supplemental tutorial videos.
While the curriculum is centered on professional in-the-box mixing using SSL plugins, select in-person courses will also incorporate hands-on training with large-format SSL consoles. The curriculum covers core principles and advanced techniques used by professional mix engineers, including SSL channel strips, advanced equalization, dynamic processing, SSL buss compression, and gain staging. Additional modules explore stereo imaging, spatial audio production, SSL Native plugins, and commercial release standards for streaming, broadcast, and physical media distribution.
Many engineers understand their DAW but have never had formal training in the workflows and techniques that define professional mixing environments, said Mihai Boloni, President of ProMedia Training. This course bridges that gap by giving students direct access to SSL methodologies that have shaped countless hit records.
The first live online Certified SSL Training for Professional DAW Mixing course will be held September 19, 20, 26 and 27, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. EDT. Prerequisites include proficiency in Pro Tools or another professional DAW. Completion of ProMedia Training’s Pro Tools 101/110 coursework also satisfies this requirement.
