Hi Tom,
well, before all, thanks for your reply...
I am going to study these books this summer...
I was thinking about protools certifications because I am just 17 years old,
and in future time I could consider working as an audio-engineer...
Thanks alot!
Cheers,
Vincenzo.

Ciao Vincenzo. I know 2 good books to begin with audio recording, but
don't know if they are in accessible form for you. One is "The
Recording Engineer's Handbook" by Bobby Owinski, and the other is
"Recording Techniques" by David Miles Huber. They are online at Mix
Bookshelf.
If you're not looking for a job as audio engineer, don't worry about
ProTools certification - you just need training to learn to use the
program.
Hope that helps.
Tom

Hi guys,
well, I am going to ask you some strange questions...
I am sorry if some of them might be o.t. questions, but I am really
curious... I hope I could learn alot from your replies, so let's start...
1. This summer I am planning to study very hard protools and its wonderful
features; but I have no knowleges about audio editing, mixing and
mastering; is there any book (also in English) that explains how
all-effects (reverb, overdrive, limiters, phaser, etc) work, how to
pump-up bass, synth or drum tracks, how to set up a compressor properly,
how to aggiust the track' volumes and other related things, and how to
apply this knowleges in pro tools? Of course it should be an "accessible
book", because I am blind and I could understand pictures that represents
screenshots without text-descriptions...
2. What's about vocal tracks? Surfing the Internet, I understod that many
people use Melodyne to aggiust vocal tracks. But what's about us? Is
Melodyne accessibile with voiceover as a stand-alone program, as a plug-in
for protools or as a "bridge" between Melodyne and Protools (rewiring
Melodyne into protools)? If not, what do you use to get professional
vocals or to create "poliphonic vocal tracks"?
3. I eard that exist some qualifications created by Avid to certificate
the ability to use protools. Would it be possible for a blind person to
get this qualifications (for instance the protools 101, 110)? If not,
which are the problems for us to get this qualifications?
I hope your replies could help me to get the results I would like to get
(not to become an audio-engineer, but just to produce dance songs that
sounds quite good)...
Vincenzo.
