Acknowledgments

It’s impossible for me to express the depth of gratitude I have for the people who helped me complete this book. Again, I extend my thanks to those who worked on the first and second books in this series, Pro Tools 5: Visual QuickStart Guide and Pro Tools 6: Visual QuickStart Guide—Missy Roback, Rebecca Gulick, and Claudia Curcio.

For this third and final book that I will be authoring in this series, I want to thank Nancy Davis, above all, for believing in me and Becky Morgan, for her unending patience and professionalism.

Anne Marie Walker deserves credit for a great editing job and her professional attitude as well. Tom Dambly must be credited with rescuing me at the eleventh hour with his outstanding authorship of the MIDI and Video chapters, and for applying his comprehensive knowledge of Pro Tools as tech editor of this publication. I must thank Matt Purcell, who did an outstanding job getting me to deliver when all the odds were against it...Matt, thanks for putting up with me.

Finally, I wish to thank Stephanie Beaurain, who helped me see what I could not and stayed long enough to help me make the right choices. “Ous est vous, mon petit wasso. Quand je voler avec tous, je vous vivre.”

Good luck, Pro Tools users; I look forward to hearing your genius in the future.
