Best guide to learn ProTools Mixing,

This review is from: Producing in the Home Studio With Pro Tools BK/DVD-Rom 3rd Edition (Paperback)
I have many books on recording and using ProTools. This is the one that I turn to all the time. I hate to say it, but it is much more informative and easy to understand than those offered by Digidesign themselves.

Definately a Great investment!,
This review is from: Producing in the Home Studio With Pro Tools BK/DVD-Rom 3rd Edition (Paperback)
I only bought this book to get a better understanding of Pro tools but I have found this book to be greatly beneficial for learning more about the whole recording process. If you are a Musician, Engineer or Producer who uses Pro Tools I couldn't recommend this book enough. I would say it's good for beginners through to experienced Pro Tools users but I would say that beginners and semi-experienced users would get the most out of it. Easy to understand, great information, demo sessions, video tutes, really handy PDF's. It's a wee cracker! Also it's current up to 7.3.

Still good for PT8 and PT9!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Producing in the Home Studio With Pro Tools BK/DVD-Rom 3rd Edition (Paperback)
I want to point out that though this book was written for version 7.3.1, that 95% of it still applies in the newer Protools versions, like 8 and 9. All of the basic features are the same, and the few that have changed, you can brush up on those through other sources. This is tremendously helpful and written in a down to earth style, and includes good advice on recording and setting up your studio in general, regardless of what you're using.It also includes a helpful dvd-rom of video tutorials, as well as a few sessions to practice on. I still go back to this book as a reference when I need it. Again, if you're thinking this is outdated, don't! You'll be glad you got it, even with the newest protools versions. Highly recommended!
