This book is pretty much useless unless you are a total novice in both computer music production and composition/arrangement, since you if you're beyond novice level, you probably already known everything the book covers. The author also did not do his due diligence on research. He called VST "Virtual Sythesizer Technology," when it's actually "Virtual Studio Technology. The guy has never heard of the internet? It's the first thing that comes up when you search "VST." Any computer musician worth his salt knows this--it's really really basic stuff. He then refers to plugins as VST's. That is also incorrect. They are plugins using the VST format, and if anything VSTI would be better than VST, but only for virtual instruments and does not apply to effects plugins. I'm guessing this guy probably doesn't even hang around prominent sites for computer musicians like KVRAudio. He then also refers to DAW and Ableton Live separately saying both can host VST's, as if Ableton Live isn't a DAW. Does he even know what DAW stands for? It almost seems like he's only got a cursory understanding of all this technology and terminology, and the half-assed his way through the research when writing the book. Maybe it's just carelessness, but don't people proofread their manuscripts before sending them to the printer? The instructional aspect of the book actually isn't bad, and if yo are a total beginner, it can certainly be helpful to you.
