 Home Studio Rookie
I recently took the plunge, and invested in a small home recording studio. Being MUCH more a musician than an engineer, I found myself really struggling with the technical aspects of using the Pro Tools software. It looked like it would be a really long slog toward getting to the point where I could understand how to use the tools and focus more on actually recording my music. I'm so glad I found this book! It's written in a clear, engaging style and the layout of the visual aids is outstanding. I got through about half of the lessons over the course of two weekends---and can see I will soon have a solid, working understanding of pro tools basics. In my opinion, this book should be considered essential reading for anyone new to using pro tools. I checked out other guides and a variety of online resources--and nothing, in my view, matched the clarity of this lesson manual. Highly Recommended!
Awesome!
There is so much to ProTools, Gina puts it into perspective! Her writing style is outstanding, and if you are like me who thinks the technical instructions and white papers seem to require a degree, this book is for you! I am currently on Chapter 5 and in one week, I have surpassed what I learned on my own with the "manual". Her additional downloads and assistance goes above and beyond!
br /As far as a response to the previous "click track" comment, with respect. I have talked to several studio musicians, and they all say they record with a click track, drummer, pianist, and guitarist.
br /If Gina comes out with an "advanced" ProTools guide, I will purchase it immediately!
Great tutorials - Note: Doesn't include film
I bought this book because I needed to learn to use Pro Tools fast and because I learn best through tutorials (like the Apple Pro Training Series books). This book got great reviews so I chose it. Unfortunately, I need to learn Pro Tools in reference to working with film soundtracks. This book doesn't address film so you'll need to look for another book if you want that aspect. I still gave it five stars because it is a very well designed and well written book - similar to the Apple Pro series. The tutorials make sense and all of those 'but what about' questions that often pop into your head while working in tutorials are answered. Concepts are clearly explained so that you can actually apply what you learn to other situations within the software. The focus of the book is on live recordings and working with loops. If that is what you are looking for this book is A+ and I kept it as a valuable reference for my library.
Easy, fun and informative
I admit that I hate to read a manual.
br /I am a visual learner: I can watch someone else operate, say, Final Cut Pro and get the general grasp of the work environment.
br /If I have to wade through text, it doesn't seem to click as easily.
br /
br /Having read several books on Pro Tools as well as countless instructional web pages, I was still struggling with my Pro Tools LE system.
br /That's where Gina Fant-Saezs' book comes into play.
br /I took a chance and spent the money.
br / And it was money well spent, for someone with my learning curve.
br /
br /Easy to use, fun to read and plenty of visuals.
br /Where other books explained Pro Tools in word, Gina's book augmented the text with excellent images.
br /
br /I highly recommend "Pro Tools for Musicians and Songwriters" for beginners as well as those who need something more than just words on pages.

Gloria is a production genius!
The best purchase for Pro Tools rookies. I had no prior experience with Pro Tools before reading this book and I feel completely comfortable navigating both the editing and mixing modes. Gloria explains her information in a totally easy to understand format while directing you to record and patch songs together in various different ways so you can determine what method you personally prefer. I was up to speed and recording professionally sounding CD's in days! Thanks Gloria!!!
