Product Description

Mixing in Pro Tools: Skill Pack is designed to help you boost your understanding of the art and craft of creating great-sounding mixes using Digidesign's industry-standard DAW Pro Tools. Starting with the basics of essential processors and working up to advanced signal routing and sophisticated sonic manipulation, this book will help you to produce polished professional-sounding mixes. As you work with the sample sessions on the included CD-ROM and the hands on tutorials in the book, you will develop your ears as you expand your knowledge. Unlike other books with companion discs, the source files on your Skill Pack CD-ROM are an essential part of the book's tutorials-they are not there as mere examples; they are the raw materials you'll use to work through the hands-on exercises. The result is a fully integrated learning experience-you'll learn by applying the skills you've been taught through real-life experience.

Customer Reviews

Not for the novice
You must have some sort of practical basic experience with Pro Tools to be able to use this book. Some ideas are presented clearly, however, others need more explanation in simpler terms. Because of this, I lost interest in some chapters and felt like I was sitting in a college lecture sitting there "lost". I would not recommend this book for older teens or anyone just entering the audio field.

Good book.
Good. Practical. Info.
for those who have basic knowledge of recording practices and pro tools itself.
