Producing in the Home Studio with Pro Tools [With DVD ROM]

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.

This product rather than a book is a key that has helped me to develop my digi world, it is very complete and it is updated, besides it doesn't matter that you are and amateur or a pro, this book covers every step that a sound engineering, producer, etc.... may need

This text is a very detailed introduction into the power of Pro Tools software and hardware. Pro Tools is not my first recording software and is far more powerful than anything that I have ever used in the 10+ years that I've been recording music for myself and others. This text is a must-have for the "new to Pro Tools" user, and may also add new insight to the mind of the experienced user because of author David Franz's thoroughly demonstrated knowledge of the Pro Tools product. I'm an artist first, but I realize the need to make professional sounding products and this text has me well on my way with easy, step-by-step instruction to great recording techniques. Now that I'm ready to begin making professional music, Pro Tools is the only software that I'm using for my future albums, and this text has illuminated the proper way for me to get started down the right road with Pro Tools. Terrill Jerome Cook recommends it.

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.

I really appreciate the easiness and the clarity of this book. It is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in music production techniques and engineering skills.
