Not the greatest,
By Jim (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Experiencing Music Technology: Software, Data, and Hardware (with CD-ROM) (Paperback)
Not exactly the greatest book I've ever owned...the computer background information is woeful (I found 3 glaring mistakes in 70 pages of material by just skimming). The book has generally good information on the software it covers and a pretty good intro to MIDI.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not what I expected,
By A Customer
This review is from: Experiencing Music Technology: Software, Data, and Hardware (with CD-ROM) (Paperback)
I expected a careful, general overview of the various uses of technology in music. This book is clearly for a classroom that uses Macs and the specific software indicated. There is not one entry for Finale, nor microphone/recording techniques. The book is pretentious in its organization (academic music ed. types) and woefully lacking in providing the required general overview of concepts, and prefers to teach specific software applications, many of which are not mainstream.
