5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for the beginner!!!, May 3, 2009
By 
Gadget Geek "David" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pro Tools 101 Official Courseware, Version 8 (Paperback)
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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Essentially OK But..., May 15, 2009
This review is from: Pro Tools 101 Official Courseware, Version 8 (Paperback)
This book is OK as far as it goes. It's all technically accurate and fairly well organized. But it's instructionally lacking in my opinion because the exercises aren't integrated into the lessons. Instead there are two exercise projects at the end of the book. It would be much better if you were able to practice a particular procedure related to the specific lessons in the chapters.

My other criticism is that this book assumes all users are music producers. For good or ill, Pro Tools has become the industry-standard audio production software. But not everyone who uses it makes music. Many of us make radio documentaries and features. We may use the same tools as music producers but how we approach the work is different. It would be good if training material such as this book acknowledged other user types and offered material from their perspective.
