Acid Pro 6 Power!: The Official Guide [With Companion DVD]

Very good book. Offers lots of general information re: recording studio tips, monitors, soundcards, FX, midi. If you are new to creating music on a computer this information is hard to find and the high end electronic music mags generally talk about pro tools, reason, etc. I upgaded to Acid Pro 6 and this book is extremely helpful and much easier to learn with than the Acid Pro manual that comes with the software.

The manual that comes with Acid Pro 6 tells you where to find features on the program, a little about what they do, but hardly anything on how to use it! Acid Pro 6 Power! is a very hefty book! And I'm certain most people who buy it will Not read most of it! Sorta like a Chilton's Guide to your 74' Datsun B210. BUT! the point is...IT'S ALL THERE!!! Any question about how to do anything, what this does, what that is there for, etc. Tips and tricks. It's HUGE! It will continue to be a reference book into the future. At least until the next version's book comes out.

All the Power books I keep in my studio have saved hours and hours of frustration. For the studio professional, these books are essential. I keep then in a roll away book cart right near the computer mixing surface, keyboards and mouse.

This is great. Acids include docs. like all included software documentation are ...unhelpful. This makes it clear and simple and also teaces you theory. I hope the pubishers put out an Overdrive to follow this up!
