Summary: BEST book there is for Pro Tools users...
Comment: I just took an online Pro Tools class at berkeleymusic.com, and Dave Franz (the author of this book), is the most knowledgable person on Pro Tools around. We used his text to supplement the online course. But I bought his book months before the course began.
Immediately, I was learning about sound fields and phantom images so I could get my monitoring and recording environment set up correctly (which I had set up VERY incorrectly to begin with).
Next, he goes step by step into simple recording, and helps you out with input signals and example setups for all of DigiDesign's hardware (Digi001, Digi002, MBox, even PT Free) so you get good signal flow in through you whole system. From there, he progresses to more advanced recording techniques like punching and auto-punching and the different record modes.
Also included in this book are system settings that will let you get the most out of Pro Tools from your current machine and chapters on mixing and basic plugin usage. The best are the example sessions included on the CD that allow you to see what he does in real time as compared to what's beign taught in the book. There are also trials of popular third-party plugins on the CD so you can sample some really powerful RTAS plugins while working in Pro Tools.
Make sure if you buy this book, you are running Pro Tools 6.x. He has an earlier version of this book for users still running PT 5.x.x.
All in all, if you are a beginner, this is the place to start, hands down, and more advanced users will find juicy tidbits here and there as well.

Summary: Good Stuff
Comment: I bought this Pro Tools book because it's been on Digidesign's home page for the past few months. It goes past what the manual talks about, and has a bunch of examples in text, pdf, and also on the CD rom. Another nice plus is that ProTools Free comes with it. Beats waiting for my modem to download it. It shows a lot of the more technical side of producing on ProTools, but also It basically teaches the reader how to be a successful producer and engineer. There's chapters on preproduction, miking, running a recording session, and a bunch of other topics.
I got the most out of the chapters on Improving
System Performance and Efficiency, which explains ways to maximize your computer's processing power while using Pro Tools. My computer is kind of slow, so this made things quite a bit faster. Also, the chapter on mixing techniques explained things much more clearly than I've seen before. All in all, a good read. I highly recommend it for Pro Tools users of any level.
