The Foothill College Music Technology Program is one of the largest in the state of California and provides an entrance to a career in the entertainment and media industry.

We also offer training on Wwise and FMOD, the industry standard middleware applications for game audio.

The MTEC curriculum offers students the option to design their course of study to meet their needs. To augment their core courses, students may choose elective courses from music or related fields like media studies, photography, graphic design, and computer science. Because all these fields are very closely related, students can focus on areas that reflect their individual interests and goals. All musical styles and genres are supported and welcomed. Our goal is to give students the opportunity to succeed based on their talent, interest and hard work. All MTEC courses are transferable to California State Universities and many transfer to the University of California system as well.

MTEC courses are available on campus during the day and evening, as well as online, to fit each student's scheduling needs. MTEC students have access to Foothill's spacious, fully equipped, state-of-the-art recording studio facility, which includes a Dolby Atmos surround sound mixing stage.

Doubled the speed of my workflow. In a show like, "The Voice," we are often recording and editing more than 600 songs per season. So being fast and efficient is critical while operating at the highest level of quality.

I highly recommend ProMedia Training as a source of instruction for the Pro Tools platform. As an educator at the collegiate level, the courses that I took were extremely helpful. The online classes are very convenient and can work with's anyone schedule. Again, I Highly recommend ProMedia and plan to use them again in my continuing education efforts.

ProMedia's training was perfect for me. It was very powerful to witness the teacher's skills and knowledge. His style of teaching is very impressive. I like that I am now part of a network of Pro Tools Pros and can get answers when I need them. It was a great experience to live with the software for three days. I really came to understand how fast this technology is moving and to realize that training is so essential not only for me but also for my Department. Thanks again.

Avid Audio (formerly Digidesign) is an American digital audio technology company. It was founded in 1984 by Peter Gotcher and Evan Brooks. The company began as a project to raise money for the founders' band, selling EPROM chips for drum machines. It is a subsidiary of Avid Technology, and during 2010 the Digidesign brand was phased out. Avid Audio products will continue to be produced and will now carry the Avid brand name.

Pro ToolsHD required a Digidesign TDM system and interface, and was intended for professional recording studios. Pro Tools LE was a complete package intended for home users and some post-production facilities. The package included the Pro Tools LE software and hardware such as the M-Box 2 or Digi 003. Pro Tools M-Powered was simply the Pro Tools application adapted to run on M-Audio hardware, and generally comparable in power to an LE system.
