Product DescriptionEditing audio is one of the most important and often one of the least understood and most confusing functions of any DAW. However, it is also a function to which Pro Tools is particularly well suited. Editing Audio in Pro Tools: Skill Pack is your key to demystifying and mastering all of the audio editing tools available in Pro Tools. This unique book/CD-ROM learning tool provides an interactive and hands-on method for learning the art of editing audio in Pro Tools. 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 building blocks from which you'll construct the projects. The result is a fully integrated learning experience. You'll learn by applying the skills you’ve been taught through real-life experience. By the end of the book, you'll have a fundamental understanding of the design and philosophy of editing audio in Pro Tools, you'll be able to work faster, and you'll know how to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes. Editing Audio in Pro Tools: Skill Pack truly has something for users of every skill level. Whether you are already a seasoned engineer looking to refine your editing skills, are switching to Pro Tools from another recording application, or are a songwriter or musician looking to make sense of this professional-level DAW, Editing Audio in Pro Tools: Skill Pack is sure to help you improve your projects. Beginners can progress from the start of the book to the end to get a comprehensive look at the entire Pro Tools editing system, and more advanced users can skip directly to a chapter that focuses on a particular editing feature they want to study-the source files on the CD are set up so that you don't necessarily need to start from the beginning. So what are you waiting for? Better audio editing skills will never be easier to attain!

Rating: - DA BOMB!!!
This book is aussum. I'm like somewhat of a protools newbie. I've been using off and on for about a year now. Honestly, until now, I was a bit intimidated by the tool. I tried learning how to do things by reading the Reference manual that comes with pro tools. Its useless. The way to learn is through example. And that's exactly what this author gives you, example after example!! I was truly amazed by this wonderful, and enlightning book. For the past years, I did not know what all the different ...
