Russ over at the AIR users blog has a lot of great videos that relate to both Pro Tools basics and more advanced stuff like VI's and MIDI. You Tube! just search "Pro Tools". The DUC's Kenny Gioia has a couple of Excellent PT tutorial disks out. Last but not least. a monthly membership to Groove3 is probably a wise investment.

Re: Good Book to Learn Pro Tools With
Thank you both. I was looking at the Pro Tools 101 and will look into the second recomendation as well. Groove3 membership sounds good once I get started.
I am just tired of banging around in the software. My desire is to record myself and others but be a goto guy for help and work. Thank you all and I am sure you will see more of me. Ive been lurking around here for a while... |

Re: Good Book to Learn Pro Tools With
Books are great and I know they have there place for many Musicians that don't have allot of recording experience, but like me and my best friend who has a studio also allways say, "The best way to learn Pro Tools is to make a whole lot of BAD Music" fire up your Pro Tools start a fresh new session and trial and error allot of trial and error and you will learn, plus you will learn how PT works best for you. Let me add I started recording when I was like 13 with 2 Boom Boxes bouncing back and forth to overdub, moved on to 4 track cassette and then on to a 24 track MCI/Neotek Console Studio before I took a 26 year layoff and then started recording again last year when I bought my Pro Tools system. Most of everything I knew came right back to me and its taken me a whole year of doing a whole lot of Bad Music to finally start to feel like I allmost know what IM doing in PT but I still learn something new everyday I use my PT system, Sorry for the long rant but just dig in record, write songs and enjoy yourself.

I browse here, and youtube constantly, but I always reference my books for the big stuff. Then I tackle the web. Just my opinion. Edit: And I did print the entire manual as well, It's a HUGE book. And although searching the PDF is nice, when you have the pages in front of you from the book, you can multitask better IMO. |

Re: Good Book to Learn Pro Tools With
Thanks for all of the responses. I have bee recording with various sofware for a few years now. I have banged around a was just "ok". What i am looking to do is "LEARN" it. I know a class will be one of the best ways, other than being with some peope who know and have time to let you hang around. I try to learn through ALL avenues. People, bookes, internet forums, videos, etc. Anything that i can learn from I will take it in. I am just looking for opinions on a good book that, like one person said, I can take with me. I cannot take my recording set up everywere. I cannot have the internet everywhere, but I can take that book most places that I do not have access to the above items. I am not looking to just stand over the keyboard with the book following every detail and instruction, though i might over something new :). I want to have a wealth of information that i can just pick up and read in spare time. I know this software can do a lot,... just dont know all it can do and how to even apply them.
Thanks, I know there are others out there lurking like I was trying to learn from you vets as well! |
