4 out of 5 stars Best material for Pro Tools beginners.......2007-04-01

I would have to say this book is what you want when starting out in your pro tools voyage. Very easy to read and very informitive. The only problem is it is soley for beginners (as well as a great reference manual), you will not find anything to in-depth here. But if you wish to know all the essentals of basic pro tools operating this is your avenue.

5 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2007-03-08

I originally got this book while preparing for the Pro Tools 101 class I was about to take. I went through most of it (chapter by chapter) in about a week, and got up to Chapter 6 (There are 10 chapters). Truthfully, the Pro Tools 101 Class is the best way to go. I think even in the book somewhere it says something that "while you can do at-home studying, hands-on experience is the best way to fully enjoy/learn this book." That statement is VERY true. The book has a great way of simplifying things down, and makes it, for the most part, fairly easy to understand anything. While this book was GREAT, I would recommend taking the Pro Tools 101 class anywhere you can.

5 out of 5 stars good straight ahead manual........2007-02-17

I had to get this book for a protools class at school.This book is well writen nononsense manual.The only problem is the dvd that comes with it doesnt play in my dvd player or computer.The dvd isnt a big part of the book so get a used copy and save.

3 out of 5 stars Its a Manual.......2007-02-13

Its basically a pro-tools manual, advising what specific menu functions do what and where they are located, but not really teaching any techniques or providing much real life usage explanations.
If you want a digidesign pro-tools manual, get it... If you want to learn more about actual use of functions for recording, mixing, and editing, get something else.
The included dvd was of little to no use other than the inclusion of the Xpand midi modules which is pretty cool but I believe Xpand is available as a free download from digi or elsewhere anyway.

5 out of 5 stars Nice Job.......2006-11-10
