Review of The Complete Pro Tools Handbook: Pro Tools/HD, Pro Tools/24 MIX, and Pro Tools LE for Home, Project, and Professional Studios (Paperback)

This book looked to be the definitive Pro Tools tome, but falls FAR short. Some good stuff on MIDI setup and recording, but only half a page on mixing techniques? Uh, ok.

Lots of diagrams of HD, MIX and other big rig setups, but who cares? Folks that own that kind of gear already know how to set up and get maximum performance from their equipment.

Should have spent more time on the 002, 001, and MBox. If you own one of those systems don't waste your time with this book.
