5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for the beginner!!!   May 3, 2009
Gadget Geek (Brooklyn, NY United States)
11 out of 11 found this review helpful

This book is absolutely perfect for the beginner/intermediate user of any DAW outside of protools. I dove into protools before getting this book and managed to do a few recordings on my own; this book allowed me to do basic things that I didn't know were possible or made things I was already doing a bit easier or allowed me to go further with each feature.
The problem many people have with this book is the DVD that comes with it. You need quicktime and you also need to copy the files to your pc; they play horribly from the dvd-rom drive or don't play at all; once you copy the files/folders to your mac or pc; you're good money!!!!

Buy this book; you won't be sorry!



5 out of 5 stars Pro Tools for College   October 11, 2009

This book is just an updated version from PT7. It does have some changes here and there but I think if your an engineer in training, like I am or a big engineer working at Sony, I think everyone should have this book as a refrence. It does not teach you PT in an instance but it will guide you through some technical difficulties you might have and save you some money from calling Tech Services!


5 out of 5 stars very informative textbook   December 12, 2009
Bob Justman (Sacramento, CA)
Extremely informative book, with a thorough and concise section explaining basic digital music production. This section alone makes the book worth the price of admission, as other texts assume the user has lots of experience in DAW audio production, but this book explains all. Also contains a thorough history of the development of M-Audio/DigiDesign Pro Tools software and the theories and reasoning behind each new product. The only caveat is that the Pro Tools hardware spoken of so highly in this textbook is proprietary and prohibitively expensive, and most authorized DigiDesign repair centers will tell you to return the DigiDesign stuff to the factory for repairs. I say this from personal experience. I wish the hardware was as interchangeable, reliable, and as reasonably priced as this book.

I am half way through this book and find it very informative and useful to learn the Pro Tools interface. There is a lot of information and it's a great resource to have in your library for whenever you have a Pro Tools question. I would get it if I were you!!
