Pro Tools for Musicians and Songwriters

54 reviews
Gina Fant-Saez

Peachpit Press, 2006

If ProTools never changed, then this book would be a classic--but until it changes a lot, consider it one.
I am a guitarist. A singer as a distant second, and a bassist as a just as distant third. I used two pieces of hardware to record with before I bought Pro Tools 8 LE with the Eleven Rack: my Boss BR-800 was fantastic as a user-friendly device. I was able to record and do pretty much anything I wanted right out of the box without cracking the manual. The problems of a strict limit of 8 tracks ...

Photoshop CS / CS2 Wow! Book, The, 1/e

Linnea Dayton, Cristen Gillespie

Peachpit Press, 2006

Outstanding resource
Photoshop just doesn't come naturally to me for some reason, so believe me when I say I've looked at all the Photoshop books I can find. This one is far and away the best in the field. It's incredible how much information and how many tips and tricks are packed into this single volume. Better still, each topic walks the reader through the process, so you're never left guessing what the process is ...

The DV Rebel's Guide: An All-Digital Approach to Making Killer Action Movies on the Cheap

Stu Maschwitz

Peachpit Press, 2007

Awesome book
I have long known about The DV Rebel's Guide from reading Stu Maschwitz's blog and articles. You can't work in the visual effects industry very long before you run across something from Stu. He is quite opinionated and learned in his field. I can personally say that I have learned much from Stu's wealth of information on the internet. When it came out, I did not have much interest in reading the ...

Well worth the money!
One of the few technical books in my library that I feel has really paid for itself, and then some. Technical books are so expensive, and most of mine sit in the bookcase collecting dust within a month or two after purchasing them. This book had saved me more money than I spent on it within the first month, and I continue to use it on a regular basis. In addition to having real and practical ...

Bart G. Farkas

Peachpit Press, 2006

Title's a bit misleading, but the material is solid...
Although I haven't (yet?) created one, I am becoming more interested in the podcasting phenomenon. A very good "get your feet wet" book to get someone started in that area is Secrets of Podcasting - Audio Blogging for the Masses by Bart G. Farkas. Contents: Podcasting Basics; Jumping In; Creating a Podcast; Podcasting Distribution; Appendix; Glossary; Index Yes, there's only four ...

Diana Weynand

Peachpit Press, 2003

Excellent, Must-Have for All FCP Users
I consider myself to be a "seasoned user" of Final Cut Pro. I have been editing with FCP since the original release of version 1.0 and have worked on numerous documentaries, features, commercials and episodic television. I learned about this book from the Apple website. This is the official textbook used for Apple Pro Certification (FCP Level One). So I decided that I would "forget" ...

Adobe Photoshop Elements One-Click Wow! (3rd Edition)

15 reviews
Jack Davis

Peachpit Press, 2005

Extend Elements with One-Click Wow effects
When Adobe introduced Photoshop Elements it had a low-end program for newcomers to digital photography. It based the cut-down Elements program on its expensive and complex main Photoshop program. However, when you buy Elements you are actually installing quite a lot of the main program (even though no menu commands exist to use new features), and people have been finding ways to exploit the ...

Apple Training Series: AppleScript 1-2-3

Sal Soghoian, Bill Cheeseman

Peachpit Press, 2009

AppleScript
This is written by THE Product manager for AppleScript, who is a first class authority. I bought this book to learn how to code - having never software coded before - and it is everything I hoped it would be. Step by step with plenty of examples.

Real World Adobe Photoshop CS

16 reviews
David Blatner, Bruce Fraser

Peachpit Press, 2004

No other book can dig deeper!
As an Adobe Certified Expert in Photoshop I think I can talk about this book with some soft of knowledge. Well, this book is awesome. No doubts. From a certain point of view it's even embarassing: I've read things never seen elsewhere, small tips, too small even for the manuals (but sometimes really helpful), and Big concepts explained really well. Every single page of this book hides ...

Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS4

Bruce Fraser, Jeff Schewe

Peachpit Press, 2008

Excellent as always
Every time a new Photoshop release comes out, with a new ACR, I buy a new edition of this book. Clear and complete, very useful to review concepts and take advantage of new features.

Jim Heid

Peachpit Press, 2003

Simply fantastic -- please, Jim Heid, More!!!
This book/DVD combo is simply superb. I am not technically gifted -- though I'm the son of a rocket scientist! -- but I am totally geeking out. Jim Heid is a master instructor with an utterly uncanny knack for speaking to exactly the point that you want him to address next. His sense of sequence is flawless! Apple has done a stunning job of creating an awesomely powerful, yet completely ...

James Monohan

Peachpit Press, 2003

thorough, clear and structured
I am a beginner with Avid and was daunted by all the different and options available to me. Monohan's book was just what I needed. I am currently giong through the book from A to Z, which gives me an overview of all the options and work-methods the program has. Even though I allready had set up my workspace, this book gave me some interesting tips. Even though I had allready developed a workflow ...

The QuarkXPress 4 Book

15 reviews
David Blatner

Peachpit Press, 1998

Outstanding book for those who use or want to use Quark
This book is one of the best I have run across for learning and using a piece of software. I needed to learn Quark quickly and after reading his "Learn QX in 30 minutes" chapter, I felt I had enough of a handle to get started on a project. I am constantly referring to the book now as a reference. Can't go wrong with this one.

Robin Williams, Carmen Sheldon

Peachpit Press, 2009

Valuable and Practical
This is my FIRST "public" book review EVER, so please forgive the meandering... I received the Handmade Design Book as a gift and absolutely loved it. This is a wonderful book with a ton of valuable and practical info. Mrs. Williams took a broad and complex range of processes and presented them in a way that I think will be very valuable for both professionals and amateurs. I found the ...

Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro HD

13 reviews
Diana Weynand

Peachpit Press, 2004

User Friendly & Comprehensive
This was my first Apple Training Series book, and it was a very good experience. Going into this I had never learned a software package, let alone a complex one, almost completely from a book, and this experience proved it possible for me. It's no-nonsense, as comprehensive as I would want as a beginner, with very few errors, and user friendly - much more so than the tutorial that came with my ...
