I've bought the book and its extremely informative. It doesn't give any detail on a few things that I had hoped for, one being percussion arrangement, but it does give a great insight into how the "pro's" work and how a track is actually put together. And it doesn't have a project file for FL6, but Torsten has said that if Imageline will lend him the software he will put together a Fruity project file.

All in all, for a beginner/intermediate I would definitely recommend. Torsten also is very forthcoming, when it comes to questions on the forum as you can see here.

^^^ Hey Paul, glad you're liking the book. Me, I don't have the time to even wire up my rig - let alone devote 14 days of my time to learn the material before the demos expire.

..oh, and folks - if you don't care for the book - no one is forcing you to buy it. I personally tend to think that beginners that pop in here almost on daily basis, trying to figure out few things about production could benefit from it. Not that it's a greatest thing since sliced bread but I heard from many folks that they found the info informative and useful.

So, if it helps - why not use it?

cheers.

Got the book too, the first chapter was an eye opener (or should that be ear opener) and answered any issues i had remaining with bass and kicks. Noway would I have stumbled on that info myself.

The rest of the book has all sorts of information but I find his eq and compression techniques the most interesting to me at the moment, need some time to play around with that first.

What initially sold me is how open he is on his forum, without worrying about people stealing his mojo :-D
