Digidesign just sent us a book! “Producing in the Home Studio with Pro Tools” is a new comprehensive guide and reference manual covering everything from recording to editing to mixing to mastering using Pro Tools LE. Written by producer/songwriter David Franz, the book is very clearly written, logical, and easy to understand, with many illustrations for easy reference. It comes with a CD-ROM including Pro Tools FREE software and examples of Pro Tools audio and MIDI file sessions. What better way to spend a crisp autumn night than with a good book on digital recording in the home?
A good friend of Sweetwater who happens to be a professor at Indiana University (who, by the way, has one of the most amazing music technology programs in the world) recently revamped his digital audio site. It includes some good, basic explanations for how digital audio works and is recorded. If you are getting into recording now and looking for one simple and coherent explanation for how things work this is a good place to start.
We have some amazing deals going on with Titanium PowerBooks and iBooks. We can’t publish the prices on line, but if you call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer they’ll give you a great deal.
