So I'm assuming they're looking for step-by-step tutorials on let's say to create your typical saw lead or a really powerful pad? Personally, I just feel people don't want to learn for themselves and would rather just ask someone to do it for them. That's what I think most people on the forums get upset about. Either there is already something written on it or they're just too lazy to do it themselves.
While on the subject of effects...you can't just teach someone how to make a sound pro by saying "If you want to make that sweet saw lead in abc track, use this much delay with this much compression and eq it with these settings and now you'll sound just like Tiesto or PVD." Search first and if you'd like some extra help then I'm willing to bet someone will help you out and show you how to get that extra edge.
Obviously you can't become a pro overnight, or a week, or months, but years yes. It's all about practice, practice, practice. I feel it's just easier to learn through trial and error and reading up a little bit on what you're trying to do.
I've never read the book, but I feel I probably have learned more in a shorter amount of time on my own than reading that book.

djlogik I could not agree with you more , i know this may be a old post ,but someone else started this post up again a few days ago.
i just wanted to say that yes you are right a book will not make you a star overnight ,what happened to originality,and if it did make us a star or sound like paul oakenfold ,we'd all run out to buy it.
but not me I want to have my own unique sound!
Imo all you need is a book on music theory it will help you a lot and its the only book you need ,once you read it you can use what you learned and turn it into your music ideas with some trial and error and patience.
People should want to learn there own skill rather than have someone do everything for them ,theyd be better of going to a studio and have an engineer make them there tracks.
