Book Reviews of Pro Tools LE and M-Powered: The complete guide
Book Review: A great aid to understanding Pro Tools LE and M-Powered
Summary: 5 Stars
Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered software and hardware let you enter the world of Pro Tools - the most popular computer recording system - for under $500. Mike Collins' book on those version 7.0 systems tells all you need to know about using those new tools successfully.
Maybe you've thought about buying or upgrading Pro Tools, but are confused about the options. The book's comparison of Pro Tools HD, LE and M-Powered software will help you sort out the differences among those versions. Similarly, the book lets you know what the hardware choices are.
One chapter explains the features of the Mix, Edit and Transport windows, including all the menus. Another deals with file handling and organization, an important topic for any DAW user. Tempos, grooves and Beat Detective are given a thorough treatment. There's complete coverage of MIDI and virtual instruments. You'll also find extensive information on recording, editing, and mixdown. Appendices cover backups and transfers, the DV Toolkit, and further reading.
The book's layout is clean and attractive. Thanks to hundreds of color screen shots, you'll know exactly what the author is referring to in the text. I particularly like the highlighted notes and tips that offer essential information not found elsewhere.
Collins' writing style is clear and conversational; the material is well organized. A reader who knows the basics of recording equipment and techniques should have no problem following the explanations in this book. If you've been frustrated while learning Pro Tools, or confused about the options, this book can help you get out of the woods.
Bruce Bartlett (recording engineer, author of "Practical Recording Techniques 4th Ed.).
