so, i recently hired an assistant. fresh out of a 4-year bachelor's degree in audio engineering from a local nashville college. smart kid, keeps his mouth shut, knows that he "knows nothing", and works pretty hard when i need him. the thing is, this very expensive school didn't seem to put much value in teaching pro tools. when he told me he "didn't really know it that well", i was kind of expecting him to be telling me new key commands i didn't already know....... i was soon picking my jaw up off the floor in realizing he wasn't being modest, he was being honest......
this is, in my mind, no fault of his own. he's a quick learner and we're doing fine on our end. however, i can't begin to understand how this could be possible. i've begged him to ask for a portion of his tuition back......
i realize that PT isn't the only game out there, but let's all be honest, it is the most widely used in the "professional" audio world.
my only comment when he asks me what key command i just hit to do something is, "UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!"
is this an isolated occurrence? i certainly hope other schools are teaching something useful....
oh, he can align a tape machine......i mean boat anchor......i mean.....
