Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐A new edition of this book will be published in June (2012). And it’s about time. A lot has changed since the current version was published in May of 2004. That said, this book continues to be an excellent reference for those who are new to Pro Tools and/or the world of digital recording. I purchased a hardcopy and e-book version in 2007. I kept the e-book on my PC desktop for quick search and reference as I was learning to use Pro Tools.

⭐Very helpful and easy to use

⭐This is one hefty book. Then again Pro Tools is one hefty software that few can completely understand. But so far, this does get the info to you in layman’s terms. The books and sites that are out there to help you with PT is so confusing and this can clear it up for you.

⭐Fairly old write up. Suggests 1gb ram to run software.

⭐This is a very good reference for newbies to pro tools like me. The tutuorial dvd that came with my ignition pack was so drab. I honestly fell asleep 3 times watching it before I finally made it all the way through. This book allows you to go at your own pace and build a solid foundation.

⭐GOOD

⭐Great condition and quality.

⭐I’ve been a ProTools user for a few years (Digi 001 and now Digi 002 with ProTools 7 LE), but never took any courses or purchased any courseware. I could do basic tracking, but when it came time for my first large CD project I knew I needed help. Although the tutorial DVD that comes with ProTools 7 LE has some great material in it, the manuals never really seemed to answer my questions.This book was invaluable in taking the step from “basic user” to semi-pro user. It’s well written in a direct and friendly tone with anecdotes that show how the author has “been there too” and shares a musician’s perspective on recording.From understanding microphones and setting up a small studio through recording and even into mastering, this book is an invaluable reference for anyone who is ready to get beyond the basics. It covers step-by-step processes for many common tasks and provides some background on why things are the way they are – which leads to better user comprehension. Not only can you perform the task, but you also have a better understanding of why it is done the way it is.

⭐As a beginner on Pro Tools, I hoped this book would provide me with an easy introduction. However, I needed a jargon buster dictionary to understand the terminology used throughout. Added to this grumble, when I received the book I realised it had been published in 2004 and deals with Pro Tools 7, whereas I have Pro Tools 8. Maybe I’m the dummy!
