Pro Tools Venue 110V: This course focuses on the essential skills required to operate a VENUE system in a live sound environment. Coverage includes system operation using both the VENUE D-Show software and a VENUE control surface. Advanced students and working professionals may want to combine this course with VENUE 210V.This course is designed for live sound students and engineers with limited experience using a VENUE system.
