Product Description
There’s no better way to learn to create professional audio files for film or video than this self-paced, Apple-certified guide to Soundtrack Pro 2?the only digital audio tool designed specifically for Final Cut Pro users. Audio producer Martin Sitter created all-new projects and completely revised this best-selling book to take advantage of the software’s new streamlined interface, surround mixing features, revolutionary ability to synchronize changes between picture and sound, and new dialog track tools. After introducing readers to the Soundtrack workspace and showing them how to work with audio clips and tracks, Sitter moves quickly to the essential task of audio restoration and clean-up. Readers then learn to arrange, edit, and mix multi-track audio projects; record and edit voiceovers and narration; and experiment with advanced mixing and effects. Each chapter presents a complete lesson in an aspect of sound design or editing, with step-by-step projects for you to complete as you go. DVD with project and media files included.

 Great so far! November 16, 2008
I'm much more of a visual person, so learning audio editing is very different for me, but so far this book has proven very useful.
The included CD with projects really help drive home the lessons.
 EXCELLENT October 15, 2008
This book covers all the basics of STP2 and even some advanced techniques you will need as a professional.
When I received the book, it was missing the DVD. This was most likely an error made by the publisher - not Amazon. I notified Amazon and they sent me a brand new book with the disc before I had even sent the original back. (at their expense by the way)
Amazon's customer service impresses me. I have to say.
 A Good Read October 7, 2008
Overall the book had lots of helpful advise and the explanation of Soundtrack Pro was great for its level 1 specification. The author is understandable at any level from novice to professional. It is though rather short and is lacking information on when things go wrong, "how do I fix it." Like for example when I set up a cycle region(loop) the audio would play fine the first time through but then when it plays over again the audio starts to distort and add audio artifacts. It would have been helpful if this had at least been noted in the book if this is behaving badly from the computers end or Soundtrack Pros end. I did find it frustrating that every lesson needed the media to be reconnected. After the 8th lesson it becomes a hassel.
But all in all this is a great book!
Doesn't make sense why Final Cut Pro isn't in the requirements September 28, 2008
You know... Soundtrack Pro 2 comes with both Logic Studio and Final Cut Pro.
If you have Logic Studio, you cannot use this book (even though SP2 comes with it). Why? Because like mentioned previously, some of the lessons you MUST open with FCP before proceeding to the next steps. It would've been nice if there was an option for us Logic Studio users. Perhaps an extra media file on the DVD that has already gone through the FCP process? A work around? I thought that would be the case but obviously not.
I'm a bit frustrated that the book does not state that you NEED Final Cut Pro to do the lessons. Afterall, this is for Soundtrack Pro 2. Logic Studio is hardly mentioned.
I enjoyed the previous Logic Pro 8 Level 1 and Level 2 books, and I know this will get me going in SP2, but I need to get access to a computer with FCP.
 waste of money February 28, 2008

This is the worst Apple series book i've ever read. It's like the author took the free tutorial videos that come with the Soundtrack pro (Final cut studio 2) and transcribed them. You will learn nothing that those videos haven't already told you. The videos are available on Apple's website so if you can't find your copy go watch the videos there.
Apple book series really needs to keep a good eye on the quality of the books they release. it clearly varies widely. some are amazing, like the one on Apple color, others like this are downright rubbish.
