Title: Midas PRO6 Training Courses
Post by: Jason Kelly on November 26, 2009, 09:48:40 AM
Dear All,

Firstly, I hope this post is not inappropriate. If so Mr.Moderator please delete.

As some of you will know I am lucky enough to work for Midas and I look after much of the training for our digital systems. We are running some UK based training courses over the coming months and I thought some of you might be interested. You can find all the details of the courses at the link below:

http://www.midasconsoles.com/pro6-training-courses.php

Due to the great demand we've had for the courses over the past couple of months we have added some new dates. There are two different courses available. The one day CMDU course is designed for engineers and operators to give them a good grounding and understanding of how the PRO6 works, how to get around it and mix with it. The two day CMDSE course is more in depth and designed to give a system tech or engineer a full grasp of the PRO6 system.

The full list of dates is as follows:

DECEMBER 15TH 2009
JANUARY 7TH 2010     
JANUARY 13-14TH 2010  
JANUARY 21ST 2010             
FEBRUARY 11TH 2010           
FEBRUARY 16-17TH 2010  
FEBRUARY 25TH 2010               
MARCH 2-3RD 2010  
MARCH 11TH 2010               
MARCH 30TH 2010                     
APRIL 13-14TH 2010  

If you'd like to attend please fill out the form on the Midas Consoles website. For our international friends, as there are now a large number of PRO6 systems across the world, we are planning to role out these training courses worldwide. So please look out on the Midas Consoles website or talk to your local distributer for information on these.

I look forward to seeing you in Kidderminster (Or somewhere else around the world)
Thanks,


Jason Kelly,
Midas & Klark Teknik

U.S. dates would be nice. Is there a cost to attend the training sessions?

The page that Jason links to says both courses are free to attend.

Hi Justice,

The UK courses are free to attend.

We are currently arranging dates for courses around the United States for next year which will be run by Midas Consoles North America. But I'm hoping that either Richard Ferriday or myself will be assisting Jay and Mitch at these events, so I'm looking forward to meeting many of the people I've gleened knowledge from on this site for nearly 10 years now. Hopefully these courses will be starting in January, then rolling out across the year through out the US.

If anyone will be touring in the UK over the next few months please feel free to get in touch. I'm sure we can arrange some training for you at the factory while you are in the UK, if you are interested.

As soon as I have finalised details for the US training schedule I will post them here.

Thanks
Jason

Having done the course in the UK, I would strongly recommend it.  I learned a lot about not just the desk, but digital systems in general.

Hi Brandon,

The dates and cities currently shown are just the start. We are planning more dates across the US over the next few months. But these things take time, its quite a big country!

But there will be cities added in the NW. So hopefully see you at one of the courses soon.

Thanks,

Jason

+1 Great Course. Jason is a very good teacher. It was fascinating hearing about the research that went into preamps, eq and compression.

Hi Jason-

Any chance of training closer to the middle of our Big Island?  Perhaps St. Louis, Kansas City or Chicago?

Happy new year,

Tim Mc

Hi Tim,

Midas Consoles North America are working to add more dates around the US. I know Chicago and Florida are being discussed. As soon as dates are confirmed I will post them here and obviously on the Midas website etc.

We'll try and make it sooner rather than later!

Happy New Year to you too,

All the best,

Jason Kelly
