PRO TOOLS para Músicos y Compositores

Excelente Guia para la utilización de Pro Tools. Con solo seguir paso a paso las indicaciones que Gina va marcando de forma clara, precisa y con las ilustraciones necesarias en el libro, te da una completa guia para la utilización de el programa de una forma práctica y efectiva.
Además de la información sobre periféricos y plug-ins. Personalmente me ha abierto las puertas para la utilización de Pro-Tools y quedo muy agradecido a Gina por su trabajo.

If I'm not a pro what am I doing with ProTools?

If you graduated with with a computer science degree no worries. Creating in the digital domain won't be a problem. But as a musician who want's to get his ideas recorded and edit them into masterpiece soundscapes ProTools puts the technology right at your fingertips. Everything you need to make the best CD you can imagine is there. "There" however, is like looking at a stary sky and trying to name everything you see, how far they are apart and how long they've been there. ProTools is awsome but the folks who developed it don't speak normal.
Pro Tools for Musicians and Songwriters walks you through the process of laying down your tunes with simple style. All you have to do is remember how you got there. No matter how you learn the program you will have to revisit the tutorial. After struggling with several books and DVD's this book is the one that helps me the most. Thank you Gina Fant-Saez

Ease of learning, low frustration level

I was in the music business up until about 15 years ago. I had my own analog recording studio, and wrote and recorded many songs with other artists. Now I have recently decided to get back into it, and have discovered quite a learning curve with Pro Tools, midi, drum plug-ins, and keyboard capabilities all at once. But that's a longer story....

I have read the ProTools manual (all 700 pages), reviewed DVD tutorials, read the ProTools 101 course manual, but nowhere could I find anything that presented a learning process step-by-step that acquainted me with how to do the things I wanted to accomplish without assuming I already knew what they were talking about. But Gina's book gives me that information, shows me each screen pictorially, and moves at a pace that makes sure I understand before moving to the next step. It is far more educational than the dry presentations in technical jargon the other sources gave me. I strongly recommend this book as a straightforward ease to your mounting frustration in tackling the learning curve.

Best ProTools Book...by FAR

Bottom-line: this book is a God-send. It is so empowering that I feel indebted to the author, Gina Fant-Saez. I'm a singer/songwriter/guitarist who has made the leap to Pro Tools from Sonar and Cakewalk, and although I've had a substantial amount of recording/sequencer knowledge and experience, once I switched to ProTools, I was struggling like mad to find the information I needed presented in the right way...until I found this book at a local B&N. I scoured the internet and bookstores for several months to find the information that I could really learn from and found this book to be the absolute BEST...by far. The other Pro Tools books just don't compare. For a technical book, this book is so easy to follow and fun to read and learn from. It covers virtually everything I need and want to know about ProTools to be immediately productive, and I love that the book is large and in COLOR which makes every screen shot in the book so easy to follow. In every chapter I've read so far, there are pearls of wisdom offered by the author that the other books just don't seem to cover. The bottom line is this: "I'M DOING MIDI!!!" Being a guitar player, I never truly thought I could understand & utilize MIDI on my own. MIDI has been demystified for me through a book!! But don't worry, this book not only covers MIDI, it covers everything you need to record your songs in ProTools and arms you with tons of knowledge about recording, using effects, and the music biz in general. I'd still be lost without this book. Thank you so much for writing it, Gina Fant-Saez! Oh, I almost forgot, she (the author) even has an online question and answer forum for technical advice!

Excellent Book

This book is great for anyone who wants to get right into protools recording. The hands on examples are excellent and easy to apply to your own music. It is written in a way that makes it easy to understand and apply the concepts. I bought protools 101 too and this book covers all if not more of the material in that book in a much more user friendly way with color screen shots that make it easy to follow. I highly reccommend it for anyone interested in digital recording with protools.
