Overview
You’ve got the power. You don’t have to spend
thousands of dollars on recording-studio time anymore. Now, using
Pro Tools—a digital-audio workstation—you can record
demos at home on your own computer, edit tracks, add effects, and
even output songs to a CD. But if you’re new to working with
sound digitally, you face a daunting learning curve. Getting your
music gear to work with your desktop computer or laptop—and
producing results that you like—involves some unfamiliar
tools and concepts.
At last, here’s a Pro Tools book written by a musician for
other musicians! Author Gina Fant-Saez knows first-hand how
frustrating it can be when you first make the move to using this
complex, studio-quality audio application. Rather than overwhelm
you with every detail of the program and complicated terminology or
functions you’ll never use, Pro Tools for Musicians and
Songwriters teaches only the essentials you need to record,
enhance, and output your music.
With downloadable audio files from www.protoolsformusicians.com to help you get started, Pro
Tools for Musicians and Songwriters will show you how to:
• Use a metronome (click track) or
percussion loop to help you keep time when you record
• Record and combine multiple takes
to create one seamless composition
• Edit your tracks with crossfades,
panning, doubling, automation more[
• Add and manipulate plug-in effects,
such as reverb
• Share your Pro Tools files with
other musicians around the globe
• Output your finished composition to
a CD
