Pearson Education Book: Pro Tools for Musicians and Songwriters by Gina Fant-Saez

Pro Tools for Musicians and Songwriters - You've got the power. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars on recording-studio time anymore. Now, using Pro Tools - digital-audio workstation - you can record demos at home on your own computer, edit tracks, add effects, and even output songs to a CD. But if you're new to working with sound digitally, you face a daunting learning curve. Getting your music gear to work with your desktop computer or laptop - and producing results that you like - involves some unfamiliar tools and concepts.

At last, here's a Pro Tools book written by a musician for other musicians! Author Gina Fant-Saez knows first-hand how frustrating it can be when you first make the move to using this complex, studio-quality audio application. Rather than overwhelm you with every detail of the program and complicated terminology or functions you'll never use, Pro Tools for Musicians and Songwriters teaches only the essentials you need to record, enhance, and output your music.
