Now, finally, there's a guide that speaks a language musicians can understand: In Pro Tools for Musicians and Songwriters, author and musician Gina Fant-Saez encourages her readers to think of Pro Tools as not just a piece of software but as another musical instrument - thus ensuring that they're never overwhelmed by too much technology and too little of the musical vernacular they understand so well.
