Description
Completely updated for Pro Tools (R) 8, Mixing
in Pro Tools: Skill Pack will help you boost
your understanding of the art and craft
of creating great-sounding mixes using Digidesign's
industry-standard DAW Pro Tools. Starting with the
basics of essential processors and working up to
advanced signal routing and sophisticated sonic
manipulation, this book will help you to produce
polished professional-sounding mixes. As you work
with the sample sessions on the included CD-ROM
and the hands-on tutorials in the book, you will
develop your ears as you expand your knowledge.
Unlike other books with companion discs, the source
files on your Skill Pack CD-ROM are an essential
part of this book's tutorials-they are not there as
mere examples; they are the building blocks from
which you'll construct the projects. The result is a
fully integrated learning experience-you'll learn
by applying the skills you've been taught through
real-life experience.
