Pro Tools is the industry standard for recording and editing digital audio. Its elegant interface and powerful editing features make it the most widely used digital audio software by professional recording producers, musicians, home studio professionals, and quality-minded hobbyists worldwide. Using the easy-to-follow visual format of the Visual QuickPro Guide, Pro Tools 5 for Macintosh and Windows will show readers how to make multi-track audio recordings using Digidesign's Pro Tools 5 software. The body of the book will offer concise, step-by-step instructions on how to use Pro Tools' main functions including recording, editing, mixing, and effects processing. It will also introduce and explain the basics of automation, synchronization, MIDI sequencing and file management in Pro Tools. The companion CD contains pre-recorded music, sample Pro Tools configurations that clearly demonstrate Pro Tools recording, editing, and mixing functions, and a set of original sound samples, including pianos, strings, wind instruments, and percussion for use with Pro Tools.
