Full Sail, a media college in Florida, salutes Digidesign for thier Oscar Award of Merit. Full Sail is a leading educator for Digidesign and Pro Tools technology.

(PRWEB) March 19, 2004 --Digidesign, a division of Avid Technology Inc., recently received a technical Oscar for the design, development, and implementation of their Pro Tools digital audio workstation. Presented at the 2004 Scientific and Technical Academy Awards on February 14th, this years award marked the second Oscar bestowed to the Avid family by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Digidesigns Pro Tools has significantly advanced the capabilities of what is possible in audio production for film," says Bill Smith, Program Director for Full Sails Recording Arts program. What you can accomplish now with a Pro Tools system was incomprehensible 10 or 15 years ago. In todays digital age its hard to find an album, film, video game, or television show that hasnt had some part of its audio created with Pro Tools."

Multiple Pro Tools systems are utilized throughout Full Sails campus to teach students the latest techniques for film post-production, music recording, editing, and mastering. Recent additions have brought forty-eight new Digidesign systems to campus, including twenty-four Pro Tools|HD systems, and twenty-four Pro Tools Digi 002 Rack systems running on 2Ghz Power Mac G5s.

For Full Sail graduates to have the best chance of succeeding in sound production they need to be familiar with the equipment theyre going to see in the industry," says Smith. Pro Tools is the top professional workstation in the marketplace, and knowledge of the system is one of the best credentials a post production engineer can boast."

The impact that Digidesigns Pro Tools software has made on the film industry is incalculable. The awarding of this years technical Oscar is a testament to the hard work and dedication Digidesign has shown in creating a product that is continually expanding the possibilities of film production. This award solidifies Digidesigns position as the leader in digital audio in the film industry," Bill Smith explains. There is Pro Tools and then theres everybody else."
