For new Pro Tools users like myself (I'm crossing over from PC/Sonar to Mac/Pro Tools), this book is a really good supplement used in combination with the Pro Tools Guide and Training Videos that come with the Pro Tools software. It gives extra details around training areas. There's a lot of info here, so for new users, I would suggest spending a little time becoming somewhat familiar with the Pro Tools Guide and Video for basics before digging into this book. Then you'll find this book is right on target.

Wish it would have said it was about the HD system and not the LE. HD costs about $10,00 only studios pay that much.

Although I entered a search for Pro Tools LE 8 this book pooped up in the search.
It's NOT about LE 8 it's about Pro Tools HD.
The search and description DO NOT indicate that.
I suppose it's a good book for HD but doesn't help with LE 8.

We had this as one of our textbooks for Sound and Audio Classes the past couple semesters before the new protools 9 came out. I still keep this book right next to me while we work though, it's great and divided into a very linear guide from the basics to the more sticky parts of the DAW. I only wish it listed more shortcuts and key commands, maybe a chart or something; that would have come in handy.
