Re: MidiIng
Hello Slau, Where can we find these two documents you are referencing? I have a mac and I am thinking about switching to protools. I would like to get ahead and do some reading ahead of time though.

Re: MidiIng
Yep, they're installed with the Pro Tools installation. You won't have them on your Mac by default, of course. You could also find them somewhere on the Avid site although I'm sure they're not terribly easy to find. A google search might yield something.

Re: MidiIng
Yes, they do get installed in the DegiDesign or Avid folder in applications. They are in a sub folder called documents. A google search for pro tools 9 reference guide or pro tools 10 reference guide should take you right to it on avids site. Not sure about the gettings started guides availability online though. - T.O.M On Mar 30, 2012, at 11:04 PM, Slau Halatyn wrote: > Yep, they're installed with the Pro Tools installation.
