Case Study: Russ Landau achieves faster, more intuitive TV music production with Avid Technology's Pro Tools

Pro Tools Keeps Up with Russ Landau’s Fast-paced World

Russ Landau, Emmy-winning composer for the hit CBS show *Survivor*, needed to deliver large volumes of music on an extremely tight weekly schedule, often with last-minute revisions and constant back-and-forth with editors. Working in a fast-paced TV and film production environment, he relied on Avid Technology’s Pro Tools to keep up with the demand for 43 minutes of music every week.

Avid Technology’s Pro Tools gave Landau an intuitive, composer-friendly workflow with strong MIDI and audio-editing capabilities, letting him make changes in minutes instead of hours or days. The result was greater creative speed and flexibility, helping him produce varied cues quickly, work more efficiently with editors, and spend less time engineering and more time composing.
