| Laurel Litchko 31.12.2009 | picked this up a few days ago. very good read. gives you the basics of everything and builds on it. not done with the book, but it is a good reference point. if anyone else is interested, you should check out tom cosm's online videos. |

But we tend to agree with you on your vision regarding SAE, that's why I did not attend. The matter that they teach seems to be somewhat dated nowadays. |

If i really like an article and i believei may need to read it a few times to grasp a concept then i buy it. |
| Random X 30.12.2009 | Computer Music Mag and Sound on Sound for the win. (Also had access to some SAE literature. ) |
| Harold Jaras 10.12.2009 | sound on sound mag is a very popular one among engineers. other good ones: electronic musician, remix, computer music. i'm sure i'm missing one or two that someone else can fill in. man that sound reinforcement handbook is pretty dry, amirite? |
| Madge Vagnozzi 03.12.2009 | I love this song. Sorry guys I'm a new user and I just wanted to comment on the song. My friend recently sent it to me and I fell in love with it and I just can't stop listening to it. I love romanian songs...it's probably because my country borders Romania...we're neighbors! lol |
| Laurel Litchko 01.12.2009 | just got a subscription =D thanks. i also bought Music Theory for Computer Musicians by Michael Hewitt. extremely basic, but thats exactly what i need. |
| Xavier Emanuels 30.11.2009 | Reading lots of magazines like computer music mag will teach you alot of good skills |
| Ashirumatic DJ 29.11.2009 | I found it to be pretty good. By no means will it make you the next Deadmau5, Excision, Tiesto or the likes. Getting into the book you will certainly have to have a decent working knowledge of your DAW / Equipment. The book goes through many aspects of recording and production such as synth programming, re-recording things through shat speaker or guitar pedals to add dynamics, bus routing on bass lines, arrangement tricks, working with vocalists, etc... I find the book to be useful for when I am struggling and not know what to do with a sound / song and I will get back into reading it and find a trick I might not of tried or helps me to believe of a new one. For the price I paid for it (20$ CAN). Its a good reference book for sure. |
| Gertha Coprich 30.11.2009 | How is that remixer bible ? I got this one http://www.amazon.com/Dance-Music-Ma...d_bxgy_b_img_b It is not a bad read so far. |
| Ashirumatic DJ 29.11.2009 | I picked this up awhile back http://www.amazon.com/Remixers-Bible...9510090&sr=8-1 wont make you the next producer. It does have useful tips on various aspects like the bass, beats, arrangment, programming etc... I use it now for reference when I get stuck (blocked) and youtube! |
