haha, no really, it looks like a great book, they cover everything from MIDI to music theory. There's 3 main sections:
1) Technology and Theory - computers/music/midi/audio, dance music theory, basic synthesis, sampling/digital audio, compression/processing/effects, cables/mixing decks/effects busses, programming theory, recording vocals, and about 20 different hardware and software tools
2) Dance Genres - trance, hip-hop/rap, ambient/chill-out, house, techno, trip-hop
3) Mixing and Promotion - mixing, mastering, publishing/promotion, remixing/sample clearance, even two guest chapters: "designing an audio website" and "a dj's perspective"
plus a bunch of apendixes for midi and whatnot
it could take me awhile to get through te whole thing, its about 500 pages.
edit: oh yeah, it also comes with a CD full of software tools/demos, and a bunch of sample songs for each genre, before and after comparisons of mastering/effects/etc |
