Pro Tools - Recommended readings

[Beauchampy]

Anyone have any recommended readings for someone about to start using Pro
Tools for the first time?

I picked up Cubase SX rather easily, and now feel confident that I can
effectively use 90%+ of its features. I hope to achieve the same with Pro
Tools.

I will be using the lastest version of PT LE that comes bundled with Mboxes.

Thanks!

There's a lot of pretty good books on ProTools out there, and very few bad
ones.

One you might start out with is:

PRO TOOLS ALL-IN-ONE DESKTOP REFERENCE FOR DUMMIES
by Jeff Strong
For Dummies Books
ISBN # 0764557149

and another good one is

PRO TOOLS 6 FOR MACINTOSH AND WINDOWS (VISUAL QUICKSTART GUIDE)
by Steven Roback
Peachpit Press
ISBN #0321213157

I've read both, and they're pretty decent.

Also, be sure to check out the excellent resources on the Digidesign User
Conference:

http://duc.digidesign.com/

There's a lot of terrific users there, many of whom are bound to have the
same questions that you do.

Finally, for other good reference books on audio recording in general, check
out Music Books Plus:

http://www.musicbooksplus.com/homerec.htm

They have an excellent selection of very informative books and publications.
Lotta good stuff for beginning recordists to learn from.
