My Book and Pro Tools 8

2009-04-07T11:24:00.002-05:00

Greetings all,

I get this question a lot and thought it would be easiest to post a topic here.

Pro Tools 8 works exactly the same as Pro Tools 7 so the book will work very well with Pro Tools 8. The biggest issue is the big change in the look of the software, so it won't look the same as the screenshots in my book. It will look very similar so it's really not that confusing. But, again, the basic operation is the same.

There are some really cool additions to the Pro Tools 8 such as new plug-ins and new Virtual Instruments. I believe that you will learn the basics in my book and then be able to use all these cool new toys.

So, yes, I would recommend my book even with Pro Tools 8.

I don't have immediate plans to write a Pro Tools 8 book. I thought I had a publisher lined up, but it just fell through.

I do hope to write a Pro Tools 8 book someday though...

I'm here to answer any questions you have.

Thanks all,

Gina

Updated Chapters using Xpand & Structure Free

2008-08-10T09:43:00.007-05:00

Greetings,

I have re-written Chapters, 7, 8, 9, and 11 using Digidesign's Xpand and Sampletank. I have also rewritten the part of Chapter 11 showing the new way to download the Waves plug-ins using an iLok.

I also re-uploaded a new Version of UnderwaterGFS Pro Tools session to include a Pro Tools Session using Xpand and Structure.

I am no longer supporting Sampletank and encourage anyone doing the MIDI exercises to install Xpand! and Structure Free. You can get both plug-ins FREE at Digidesign.com.

Right now, these Chapters are in Microsoft Word format with attached screenshots. My publisher keeps promising PDF files, but has not delivered. In the meantime, you can download the new chapter updates HERE

Thanks for your patience everyone and sorry this took so long.
