The Musician's Guide to Pro Tools

The Musician's Guide to Pro Tools, 9780071497428 (0071497420), McGraw-Hill, 2007

"My main impetus for creating this book was the realization that my musician friends who had purchased the new semi-pro Pro Tools systems were being overwhelmed by the complexity of the software. Although the Pro Tools Reference Guide is very well written, they had difficulty taking it all in. In my efforts to help them through the learning curve, I found that the best approach was to show them only the parts of the program necessary to record, edit, and mix their own demos, using the techniques I had developed over the years.

The mission of these tutorials is to get beginners up and running in a few days, using their own instruments and their own music. My approach is to keep the lessons short and concise, with no unnecessary information. The instructions are very specific, and assume that the reader knows nothing about Pro Tools. The tools needed for the specific tasks are introduced gradually, and the emphasis is on having fun with the program. For those who wish to learn them, the more advanced features will be covered in Book Two.

It is my hope that musicians who may feel daunted by the Pro Tools learning curve will find this book an enjoyable shortcut to the amazing world of hard disk recording."
