The book is not as much about music composition (how to go about harmony, melody, parts) as opposed to the entire process of creating a track using software. It's a broad and shallow book, but it's good for people who have no background whatsoever, giving a good overview of what it takes to produce a song (that's actually why I gave it 4 stars, else, for a musician that's been playing for some years it adds little value).

Another excellent book from a very good teacher, a sort of sequel to his title 'Music Theory for Computer Musicians.' Like that book, this one is well organized and full of clear explanations covering both the overall subject and a lot of specific details that will be good to know. I'd recommend this to anyone using music software to record or compose their own music. It comes with a CD containing dozens of examples of the material explained in the book.

Volume sintetico ed esauriente che spiega i fondamenti della composizione per chi vuole fare musica col proprio computer, specificamente in ambiti tipo trance, techno, house, ambient ecc. ecc. ecc.
Si spiega passo passo come costruire un brano, come impostare una traccia di percussioni, una di basso, una melodica; i vari programmi, il campionamento, l’utilizzo di suoni presi da fonti esterne, le tecniche basilari di mixing e mastering. Tutte cose interessanti da sapere; bisogna però tener conto che il libro è del 2009, e gli esempi software risultano alquanto datati (ad esempio viene data molta importanza a Reason che oggi è abbastanza passato in secondo piano, e l’utilizzo di loop di tutti i generi è invece stato grandemente semplificato da software come Ableton Live, qui già presente ma non ancora particolarmente sviluppato).
Nonostante questo un libro pieno di suggerimenti e consigli utili.

This is a pretty good starting point for understanding composition in a modern electronic production environment (minus the fact it's 14 years old). There's a few points in it I'll be referring back to over time.
