"Brian has made the transition of me knowing nothing about audio
engineering and production less than a year ago, to giving me the
foundation to work with tons of different applications - from Live to
Logic to Native Instruments plugins or whatever comes my way. Brian
makes sure you understand the principles behind what you are doing, so
that you once you are done you have a skill for life. I'm at the point
that I truly feel that I got the equivalence of 4 year education in a
few short months."
"Brian Jackson is a master teacher. Smart, kind and PATIENT he guided me through the ProTools minefield. Coming from live theatre I came to the table of the digital revolution late. However, Brian got me caught up in no time. Now, I not only avoid IEDs I can actually record stuff! "
Andrew Lippa - New York, NY
Grammy Nominated Composer
"I feel fortunate to have studied Pro Tools in addition to recording and mixing techniques with Brian. I started with a couple of lessons and immediately decided to continue for an extended period of time. I learned more from Brian than from all the books and DVDs that I own. And here it is, two years later and I am still coming back to gain more knowledge from Brian. Thats the true test of a great teacher. He is a totally professional innovative instructor and his hands-on approach to teaching makes the material stick. I have even used Brians engineering skills to mix and edit music tracked at my studio."
Bobby S - Woodmere, NY
Musician / Recording Engineer
"When I began to study Pro Tools with Brian, I had many years of experience as a musician, a limited command of the computer and a very basic knowledge of Pro Tools. Brian was able to assess the situation quickly and give me lessons that fit my particular needs. He has a strong command of the subject and presents the material at a flexible and appropriate pace. Brian is personable and easy to work with in terms of scheduling. If you need a teacher, hes the man."
"Trying to find a good DAW to feel comfortable with is hard, not to mention
actually utilizing that DAW to it's full potential. I've been using Live,
for almost 4-5 years in most of my recordings and performances, and it's
definitely what I prefer to work with. However, I've always known there is a
lot that I'm not going to learn by myself and that is where Brian came in. I
had two classes with Brian and he showed me a lot of interesting ways of
using Live, which I would never have thought of on my own. On stage and in
the studio, he showed me how flexible Live could be, to enhance any approach
to audio recording, producing and performing, Not only that, but he also
demonstrated some fundamental recording and mixing concepts that have helped
me gain a lot more, much needed, control in my recordings."
"I have been a DJ for quite sometime now, and have been looking to work off a digital landscape. Brian Jackson has provided a smooth transition for me in Ableton Live. I am pleased to say Brian is very patient with new-comers and that is very difficult to come across in his field. If you are serious about educating yourself in his craft, then Brian Jackson is the perfect candidate."
"Brian is probably the best resource you could call upon to learn Live. He knows it inside out and was able to answer anything I threw at him, very highly recommended."
