this book is way out of date now.

but there are not any current books, and there are no good books.



like most books on this subject it does not focus on one aspect and do it really well.



if you want a mishmash of a lot of stuff and none of it really good enough to use then buy almost any book on this topic.



if you use the specific setup the book does then this could be a really good book for you. but if you use other gear then you wont get that much out of it.



you can learn more by googling for tutorials on things you want to know and reading the various home recording pc music forums on the web.



i would suggest you go to the library and read all the books on the shelf instead of buying any books on this topic. then with some background you can google to fill in the holes.



warning - no site or book really explains the bullstuff midi terminology that gets thrown around in books on recording. not everybody uses midi. and if you do, you wont understand it from the books or websites that never explain what those terms really mean in the way of FUNCTIONS that get DONE as opposed to being abstract names tossed on software that are inherited from the old days of midi hardware but which are illogical and meaningless today.



midi and recordign should be kept separate. but too many books scramble them together and make things even more confusing to noobs.



controllers dont control - they enter notes to be seen on a score

patches dont patch - they are a codename for sounds to use in playback

trackers dont track - they might record - depending who used the word

loopers used to loop - who knows what that software really does now

DAW? catch all word for anything and everything

sequencers dont sequence - they record and playback midi stuff

you name it, the terminology is totally bogus and misleading and nobody explains what is really going on.
