Re: [ARSCLIST] Audio Editing Software Options

[Dan Gediman <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brandon,

Are you saying there is a book in the Visual Quickstart Guide series dealing
specifically with Pro Tools Free?

Also, I am a member of another listserv for radio producers and they have
been having this same discussion. The one caveat about Pro Tools Free that
has been discussed there is that it is not very stable on a PC (very stable
on a Mac running OS9.x, apparently). It seems to crash a lot, I am told.
Just passing this along...

And lastly, can anyone tell me how to order this list in digest form? I
couldn't find reference to it in the intro email I got when I joined. Many
thanks.
