The Guitarist's Guide to Pro Tools

Many guitarists are looking to get into the world of digital audio and recording but aren't sure how to start. Books in the Guitarist's Guide series show them how. THE GUITARIST'S GUIDE TO PRO TOOLS equips guitarists, even those without a great deal of music software experience, with a concrete understanding of how to get up and running with this popular digital audio workstation. The majority of the book is devoted to simple yet effective how-to style tutorials that will inspire readers to try out the software in its various functions, from recording and editing to mixing songs. The book assumes no prior knowledge of the software, and because of this, its content is all-inclusive, even establishing a foundation in the available Pro Tools compatible audio interfaces and how to connect them to a computer and set up Pro Tools. Coverage includes discussions of the usage of both Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered, as well as interfaces such as the M-Box, M-Box Pro, 003, the M-AudioM-Powered interfaces, and the guitar-specific Eleven Rack. Valuable for both live and in-studio recordings, this book will walk readers through the software every step of the way, providing for a positive user experience. The book also includes downloadable web content consisting of custom made templates, project files, and presets for Pro Tools.
