2.0 out of 5 stars So much unfulfilled promise, April 8, 2004
By Michael Stevens (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book looked to be the definitive Pro Tools tome, but falls FAR short. Some good stuff on MIDI setup and recording, but only half a page on mixing techniques? Uh, ok.

Lots of diagrams of HD, MIX and other big rig setups, but who cares? Folks that own that kind of gear already know how to set up and get maximum performance from their equipment.

Should have spent more time on the 002, 001, and MBox. If you own one of those systems don't waste your time with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, March 16, 2006
What a great book!!!!!!!!!!! I own at least 4 books on pro tools and I ALWAYS come back to this one. This is an amazing book for the beginner/intermediate user. TRUST ME. I have all the power and pro-tools for dummies books and this one is SOOO much easier to follow. You won't be disappointed!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best reference books for Pro tools!!!, May 26, 2004
By A Customer
I found this book to be a great reference book to have even though I am a Pro Tools instructor. It has everything for the beginer and for the more advanced user, which makes it a real bible then!
Everything is clearly written, with great illustration that make it the simplest thing to read for this kind of books.
As far as teaching pro tools, I find it's the best book to recommend to my students, and always had great feedback about it.
It is, to me, the best of the lot in the pro tools books, the most clear, and also the fun one, you can see that M. Valenzuela wrote this with humor and no pretention at all!
