ProMedia Training becomes first U.S. Professional Training Partner to offer Certified SSL Training for modern DAW mixing workflows

New “Mixing with SSL” program teaches modern DAW mixing techniques derived from legendary SSL console workflows and implemented using SSL's software ecosystem, with one year of access to more than 100 SSL and Slate Digital plugins for Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, FL Studio and other DAWs.

LOS ANGELES, CA, July 20, 2026 — ProMedia Training, the longest-running Avid Pro Tools Certified Training Center in the United States, has been named the first U.S. Solid State Logic (SSL) Professional Training Partner and is now offering Certified SSL Training for modern DAW mixing workflows. The new Mixing with SSL program expands ProMedia's professional audio education portfolio beyond Avid® Pro Tools and Dolby Atmos® certification, offering participants an intensive training course designed to teach audio engineers how to elevate the quality, balance, and impact of their mixes by applying SSL's time-proven mixing methodologies and console-inspired workflows within today's DAW-based production environments.

Ashleigh Davies, Head of SSL Educational Programmes & Services, stated, “We are pleased to select ProMedia Training as the first Professional SSL Certified Training Partner in the U.S. — a proven organization to train working audio engineers outside of academia. ProMedia has established itself as a results-driven leader in continuing audio education. Their experienced instructor team, proven track record in Avid Pro Tools and Dolby Atmos Certification, and Grammy®-winning mixing instructors bring deep knowledge of SSL and professional audio workflows.”

Building on more than 25 years of audio education leadership, ProMedia Training is extending its proven software certification model to deliver comprehensive mixing courses for modern DAW users. The program is designed for audio engineers, post-production mixers, and intermediate to advanced users of Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase, FL Studio, and other digital audio workstations.

Available as either live online interactive instruction or in-person training in Los Angeles and Miami, with New York and Atlanta courses planned for the future, the small-class-sized program combines hands-on learning, detailed course materials, and real-world instruction from experienced educators and Grammy-winning engineers.

The 16-hour course is delivered initially across four live-online sessions and provides students with one year of complimentary access to more than 100 SSL and Slate Digital plugins and 50+ hours of exclusive SSL supplemental tutorial videos allowing participants to immediately apply SSL mixing concepts within their existing production environments, even without access to a large-format SSL console.

While the curriculum is centered on professional in-the-box mixing using SSL plugins, select in-person courses will also incorporate hands-on training with large-format SSL consoles to demonstrate how classic console workflows translate to today's DAW-based production environments.

The curriculum covers the core principles and advanced techniques used by professional mix engineers that have evolved alongside SSL console signal flow and architecture, SSL channel strips, advanced equalization, dynamic processing, SSL buss compression, professional mix processing chains, gain staging, automation, and much more. Additional modules explore stereo imaging, spatial audio production, SSL Native plugins, and commercial release standards for streaming, broadcast, and physical media distribution.

“Many engineers understand their DAW but have never had formal training in the workflows and techniques that define professional mixing environments,” said Mihai Boloni, President of ProMedia Training. “This course bridges that gap by giving students direct access to SSL methodologies that have shaped countless hit records, while teaching them how to apply those same principles using today’s DAW-based production tools.”

Participants will learn how to build cohesive mixes using industry-standard processing chains, integrate analog-style workflows into modern production environments, and develop the critical listening and decision-making skills required in professional music and post-production settings.

The first live online Certified SSL Training for Professional DAW Mixing course will be held September 19, 20, 26 and 27, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. EDT (10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. PDT).

Prerequisites include proficiency in Pro Tools or another professional DAW. Completion of ProMedia Training’s Pro Tools 101/110 coursework also satisfies this requirement.
