Not Good For Beginners, October 27, 2008
By
H. Peters (Knoxville, TN USA)
This is a "reference" book in the truest sense of the word. Most of the material doesn't tell you how to accomplish sequential tasks, many times you have to look in other sections of the book to get all of the information you need. Index is poor. Descriptions of specific functions of the software are fairly good.

Like all the other books in this series, this one gives you the need to know information for Pro Tools. It's easy to read and understand. Better than all the others.

I am finding this book is living up to its name - 8 books in 1. I have other ProTools reference guides, but I am finding this is the first place I start when looking for a solution to a problem. For pros, it won't replace the Digitools training, but for serious amateurs like myself it is well worth the price.

Hi There,
just to share with you that this book gives what is announced:
learn how to use protools for people that are starting.
moreover I was surprised to see a lot of additional chapter covering things such as home studio, effects, mics...
It also provides very good sections around mixing and mastering.
I recommend this book :-)
cheers
Too much but not enough, September 22, 2007
