1.0 out of 5 stars
Title not at all what it seems,
By
This review is from: Digital DJ (DJ Styles) (Ultimate Beginner Series DJ Styles Series) (Paperback)
This book, in my opinion is mistitled. I bought it hoping to gain some insight and knowledge into digital music mixing and that is what the other reviewer, as well as the title of the book promised. First off, only cd mixing is even mentioned and the book does an ok job describing this. Laptop mixing software and other formats besides cd, which are growing more prevalent in music mixing are nowhere to be found. I did not get what I was hoping to from this title. Secondly, this title seems to be more geared towards a scratch dj than a digital dj. Thirdly, the title is in an 'ultimate beginner series' but doesn't even give you any pointers on selecting the proper gear, hooking it up, or powering on properly, which are all things that seem to me to be very important to an ultimate beginner. The one saving grace if this title is the 2 identical discs that come with it which allow you to learn the techniques mentioned within firsthand, and along with the book. Lastly, I would suggest 'How to DJ Right: the art and science of playing records' over this title. It is less expensive in price, covers everything that this title covers and many more things that this one doesnt, goes more in depth and also provides you with other resources and avenues to expand on what you learned from the book.

This review is from: Digital DJ (DJ Styles) (Ultimate Beginner Series DJ Styles Series) (Paperback)
- doesnt cover digital dj'ing as we know it today. CDJ use is their definition of 'digital dj'ing'
- book is about the size of a thin magazine (30 pages tops) - writing style is weird - almost like it was auto-translated from another language. - content is OK and fairly accurate but i would highly suggest looking at the other books available on the subject (dj'ing for dummies is actually pretty good)

Digital DJ,

This review is from: Digital DJ (DJ Styles) (Ultimate Beginner Series DJ Styles Series) (Paperback)
It's very basic for digital DJ. Which is suitable for a absolute biginner.
This book could have more of technics on the beat mixing rather than scatching technics. Thanks.
