About the Author

Andrew Hagerman began his musical life at the early age of eight as an aspiring tubist. Excelling at his craft, he studied at the prestigious Northwestern University in Chicago. During his time there, he also discovered a passion for position and arranging, creating works for orchestra, chamber ensemble and even jazz and rock bands. MIDI and computer music were in their infancy at this time, and Andy immediately recognized the usefulness of music technology in aiding the creative process. As a performer, he has performed in numerous ensembles of all types, and even enjoyed many years of playing at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Tokyo Disneyland. As a composer, he has been very active in the creation of planetarium and science center soundtracks, and his work can be heard worldwide, including at the renowned American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Presently the Associate Course Director of Advanced Audio Workstations at Full Sail Real World Education in Winter Park, Florida, Mr. Hagerman coordinates and guides the curriculum of one of the largest digital audio workstation lab environments in the world. He also remains active in composition and production with Singularity Arts, which serves the worldwide planetarium community.

5.0 out of 5 stars First class self-teaching text, August 13, 2008

This review is from: Pro Tools LE 7 Ignite! (Pro Tools Le 7 Ignite!: The Visual Guide for New Users) (Paperback)

Among other subjects, I teach Pro Tools at a large urban university. Most of the Pro Tools books are too specialized, too complex, too badly organized or contain too many typos to be very useful for teaching the basics. This one, while not perfect, is really quite good. With this book and a copy of Pro Tools, one should be able to learn the basics without a teacher and without too much learning curve pain. At the price, which includes a learning CD, it is highly recommended

Andy explains everything very well. Great for the beginner and person who wants to brush up on the jump to version 7 from a previous version. I would recommend this book to every beginner who wants to learn the program quickly.
