[James Degnan · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book was extremely introductory. It can be used by people who can't read traditional music notation, but you will get a lot more from the book if you've used a DAW such as Ableton Live or Logic Pro. There are screen shots of sessions from these DAWs but they are low resolution and hard to make out, and there is little technical help on how to implement the ideas, but the ideas themselves are interesting. The author is coming from the world of electronic music, whereas I had encountered these ideas in prog-rock and metal, so it was interesting to see the ideas in a different context.
