Book Reviews of Apple Pro Training Series: Soundtrack Pro 2
Book Review: SP2 is for use with FCP not Logic, but still a very good buy.
Summary: 3 Stars
You must understand before purchasing this book that FCP is only sold as the Studio or suite of software that includes Motion, Color, Compressor, DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro. So, it is assumed by the company that if you have SP2 you have FCP. All of the Apple training books for FCP studio software have lessons that open in FCP. If you don't have FCP you will be frustrated, so this book is def not for you. It is designed for the video/film editor because that is who the suite of software is aimed at. Professional sound editors will use Logic, and video editors will prepare sound to the best of their ability in SP2 for transfer to a professional sound editor to work on in Logic. The only solution that is available to you is buy FCP studio or get ready for the frustration. If you don't have your OS updated, you'll be in for even more headaches! Apple assumes we all have the latest updates and that we have enough memory to not only run the software but to operate projects fully. So if it states that you must have 2G of memory to run this software, that means that you must have 4G to run the program and do projects without making the Mac scream! Other than that, the book is what you would expect, but not as in depth as other Apple training books for FCP Studio software. Don't expect to learn everything about sound editing with this book, just the basics to start you off and to work efficiently in the software.
Summary of Apple Pro Training Series: Soundtrack Pro 2
There's no better way to learn to create professional audio files for film or video than this self-paced, Apple-certified guide to Soundtrack Pro 2-the only digital audio tool designed specifically for Final Cut Pro users. Audio producer Martin Sitter created all-new projects and completely revised this best-selling book to take advantage of the software's new streamlined interface, surround mixing features, revolutionary ability to synchronize changes between picture and sound, and new dialog track tools. After introducing readers to the Soundtrack workspace and showing them how to work with audio clips and tracks, Sitter moves quickly to the essential task of audio restoration and clean-up. Readers then learn to arrange, edit, and mix multi-track audio projects; record and edit voiceovers and narration; and experiment with advanced mixing and effects. Each chapter presents a complete lesson in an aspect of sound design or editing, with step-by-step projects for you to complete as you go. DVD with project and media files included.General Books
