What our customer's say!

"Great Intermediate-Level Stuff", After recording and mixing a few dozen sessions in PTLE 6.9, I consider myself an intermediate-level user. I've just upgraded to 7.4, which has a ton of new features, so I was looking for a book that explained techniques for 7.x. This isn't the pure 7.4 reference I was seeking, but in many ways it's more important - it's not about the raw mechanics and options, but it IS about tricks and techniques that let you do useful stuff. Especially stuff you might not have tried before. Having this book a year ago would have saved me a lot of time spent figuring out various things the hard way.

Areas I found especially helpful: (1) working with MIDI, instrument tracks, REX, and Reason (although no substitute for the Reason documentation); (2) setting up Aux tracks for plug-ins (e.g. creating a "channel strip" that actually works on input audio BEFORE it's recorded); (3) effective use of side chains, and dealing with plug-in latency. There were also other little tips that are helping me streamline my workflow, and bits of info that just help me understand PT 7 a bit better.

I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner as a sole introduction to PT, but I think it's useful to anybody with basic PT experience and might even help some advanced users. Also note that it's not truly a recording, mixing, or mastering handbook, although there is material that complements the books I have that are devoted to those subjects. Overall, it's very well written and edited, and I found the material easy to understand. One weakness is that it was published in 2006, so it doesn't cover features of more recent PT releases such as 7.3 and 7.4. Can't have everything...

"Well worth it . . .", This is a great no-nonsense how-to guide for those with an intermediate knowledge of Pro Tools. I started with the Musician's Guide to Pro Tools, which is much more beginner oriented and hands-on and then picked this up as a supplement. Both are great publications that interface well with each other. There are a few tips in here that made this worth the money on their own, but together it is a well written and quick reading reference that any home studio Pro Tools user should consider picking up.

"Excellent Advice on Pro Tools!", This is an excellent resource for the Pro Tools user. It is written with wit and humor and provides expert advice to anyone - beginner to seasoned - using Pro Tools.

"disappointing", I felt that I could learn a lot from a book touting to be "high octane". I didn't think that I knew all that PT had to offer. I did find a few things that were fairly useful but for the most part found myself already knowing most of the book.

"Pro Tools 7 Session Secrets", The book is just what I was looking for. It gives me more information and allows me to work twice as fast as I have been.

I took a personal hands on course that gave me the basics. This goes into more detail on how to properly use plug-ins. My instructor failed to mention this stuff. Probably so I would spend another $100.00 to find out.

Thanks very much,

"A Pro Teaches Advanced Techniques", First note the sub-title of this book. This is not a beginners book that starts out with what the opening screen looks like. This is a book of hints, tips, undocumented features, nifty procedures that an expert can use to get a professional quality result quickly and easily.

To further explain this, here are the chapter headings:

Recording and Microphones
MICI with Confidence
Editing: Slip, Shuffle, and Spot your way Home
The Way of the Insert: Inserts and FX
Mixing in Pro Tools: Directing Audio Traffic
After the Bounce, or Life Outside of Pro Tools
Postproduction and the World of Surround.

As the author of the book says: 'the book takes a round trip through all the key stages of a Pro Tools session. Through this journey, you'll learn the fastest workflow techniques, professional power user tips, ideas on how to get specific sounds, expert suggestions on how to work more efficiently, and advanced insight into the new features of Pro Tools 7.'

"Exactly What I Was Looking For!", After completing my first Pro Tools class, I was ready to get out there and start recording. This book was the perfect complement to the information I learned in class and provided tips that were actually useful and helped me express my creative vision. Even with my somewhat limited knowledge of Pro Tools I was able to easily understand the concepts. This book is much more than a boring how to manual.

"An AMAZING compendium of expert advice...", I was prepared to be underwhelmed when I purchased this book online. A long time recordist/musician, I have only recently moved to Pro Tools as my primary recording instrument. I have become pretty adept and just needed something to provide "advice" for day-to-day use. This book is EXACTLY that. It's like having a friend who's a TRUE expert on the subject in a book. From providing step by step instructions on setting up a multichannel cue mix, to working Reason into PT, to providing professional grade plug-in combo "recipes" for channel strips, this books covers a LOT of material in its' 285 pages. If you are a Pro Tools user of ANY level, this book belongs on your shelf and in your hands. Don't miss out.

And no, I am not the author nor do I know him!
