 Great Source! Jul 27, 2008
If your interested in getting into audio production with your Mac, this is a great start. The companion DVD comes with everyting you need to get introduced to digital audio. If can't wrap your head around this book, then I wouldn't waste money on a digital interface (Pro Tools, Motu, M-Audio). I like how it's laid out, good information. Cheers!

 out of date already Dec 29, 2007
So the book covers Reason 3, Logic 7.2, Pro Tools (no mention of the Digi 003), Rax, most of it is out of date already - hard to keep up in book form with stuff that changes so rapidly, but not really useful if you use Reason 4, Logic 8, Pro Tools 7.4 etc. I would not recommend it and as a matter of fact I am returning it.

Just what I needed! Dec 28, 2007
This is just an amazing book. I'm still kind of in shock that it even exists. I've been a life long musician, but have never taken the plunge into digital audio. It just seemed like such a big, scary world. Well, it was until I found this book. I don't know how much it would benefit others, but to me, it was a total godsend. I now feel really familiar and comfortable with the entire WORLD of digital audio, not just one program. I now understand plugin formats, virtual instruments, and I also know all sorts of great secrets on where to get them for free, and which freebies are especially awesome. I would have paid triple the price for the knowledge in this book. Thanks to the author for this awesome and needful book.
Speaking of the author, he does a really fine job here. Yes, there are some things I feel were left out, but there's bound to be some stuff missing in a book that undertakes such a massive task, as this one does. Even though I'm not an expert, I feel so much more educated as to why I would want to use Logic vs. Reason vs. Ableton Live vs. Garageband (I've never been interested in Pro Tools, although it's also covered in the book).
Also, to any potential Windows users, this book can also be really beneficial for you as well. You won't have Garageband or Logic, but other than those two chapters (and a little bit of info about customizing the Mac for digital audio production), all this stuff applies to you as well. I'm a recent convert to the Mac platform, and I can use this info on either platform. I also plan on purchasing this book as a gift for some friends of mine on Windows.
This review is just too long, and I apologize. But I'm just so happy with it. Remember that it doesn't get deep. At all. In any regards. But it's just what I needed: a huge, sweeping overview of the entire digital audio world. Thanks again to the author for such a gem!

A serious work Jul 04, 2007
Recently I've seen some digital tutorial and books that make me thinking on a precipitated release. Sure this is not the case.

Like a good friend sitting next to you explaining it all. Apr 28, 2007
This is a very smart, yet very un-nerdy treatment of otherwise very technical subjects...The author has a wonderful, down-to-earth writing style. And he's funny, too. It's like having a cool friend sitting next to you explaining it all.
It's an exceptional book, I'm learning a lot from it, and I'm not even a Mac guy. And the book is a lot of bang for the buck....it's almost 600 pages, and the text is smallish (but still readable), so it's as much info as most 800 page books, and all golden.
The author does a podcast too, which is weekly (or so) companion the book. [...]
