Pro Tools has long been an industry-standard Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for audio professionals, but it can often be overwhelming for new and experienced users alike. The Pro Tools 2023 Post-Audio Cookbook acts as a reference guide to the software and breaks down each stage of a project into manageable phases. From planning a session, editing a sequence, performing a mix to printing the final masters, you can approach this book either sequentially or peruse the self-contained recipes. You’ll come to grips with workflows for music production, motion picture, and spoken word production, helping you gain expertise in the area of your choice. You'll learn aspects of music mixing like side chain processing to keep instruments from overshadowing each other and conforming for motion picture.

You’ll also learn to build consistent and replicable workflows and templates by understanding what happens behind the scenes in Pro Tools. With this cookbook, you’ll be able to focus on the creative aspects of your audio production and not get mired by the technical hurdles. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to handle even the most complex features of Pro Tools to deliver immaculate results for your clients.

This is a great resource for those getting started in both Pro Tools and post-production! Emiliano does a great job at thoroughly and technically laying out step-by-step instructions for many different processes that are necessary in post-audio work. As this book has an almost textbook-style format, it would have been helpful for the table of contents to include more detail, making it easier to locate very specific instructions or advice within a singular topic. However, this book contains a very solid amount of information and can be a good jumping off point for anyone looking for a technical overview of the post-audio process using Pro Tools.

This book is a great beginners guide to protools! Gives great protools tips n tricks that are super helpful for beginners and people with prior protools knowledge. Highly recommend!

Anthony Wood Sep 28, 2024

The book has been invaluable and will continue to be useful as I learn more. The explanations are very clear and it's broken down in a way that makes it easy to follow. It's not "super" easy but that's because there's a lot of complexity and capability within the system. So you should expect to commit some time to learning. (I've used other edit systems before so the principles are not completely new.)

The Pro Tools 2023 Post-Audio Cookbook is a wonderful asset for any beginner engineer. I loved how many pictures there were in the book showing different settings and workflows. I also thoroughly enjoyed the format of subject, getting ready, how to do it, how it works and there's more. I have a bachelors and masters degree in audio engineering and this is a much more digestible format than the textbooks I had in school. This definitely isn't a replacement for the more in depth textbooks on audio engineering but this would be a great additional tool to jumpstart anyones career and knowledge base!

If you’re starting off in the post-audio editing, this book will provide a good foundation to help you get started! You can learn a lot of valuable information that will speed up and organize your workflow. There are even some very useful pictures and diagrams to help you along the way. If I could change one thing, it would be to remove the specific plugin settings that were suggested (EQ, Compression, etc.) because not every project is necessarily the same. Either way, I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to get started with Pro Tools!
