If you are looking for a comprehensive course that covers the core concepts and skills needed to operate an Avid Pro Tools Ultimate system with HD-series hardware in a professional studio environment, then Pro Tools 201: Pro Tools Production I is the book for you. This book is based on the official Avid course of the same name, and provides intermediate and advanced-level Pro Tools concepts and techniques.
