Need a good book on Composition would you recommend this book?

hey guys i could use a good Composition book to help me
with my producing and making my tracks . I know music theory but a good lesson in Composition would help me a lot producing trance.

i found this book online would you recommend this book
Composition for Computer Musicians by Michael Hewitt (Paperback

if you have read this book let me know if it is worth buying.

or would any basic Composition book from the library suit me just fine?

best way to learn composition is to study great music and try to replicate it. This applies to every genre of music including classical.

in EDM ,

pay attention to

form
sound design
arrangement
mixing

take notes. Actively listen. Notate how many bars each section contains. Listen to the mix, distinguish which parts are the loudest when and where ....

there isn't really any trick. You just have to do it.

I agree with you guys no book will help you be able to compose just listen to a classical song or trance or whatever song and see when things (elements come in and out and just emulate /incorproate my own style.)
