Avid provides a nice high-level explanation of how to record music, suitable for any DAW.

I have a Pro Tools Artist subscription. After a few years of working with Pro Tools, the program seems intuitive. Newbies are in for a rough start unless they know someone who is willing to hold their hand.

Avid Support

As I mentioned, I have an Artist subscription, which means I am only entitled to email support. My personal experience is that Avid’s email support sucks. Badly. They are extremely slow to respond, arrogant, rude, and generally useless. I pay money for this abuse? Fuck them, and fuck their managers.

When an Avid employee responds in public, their attitude is markedly more civil. The Facebook forum is better, and Avid employees are active there. The Reddit group r/protools is also worthwhile.
