At Last,
By A Customer
This review is from: MIDI: For the Technophobe (Paperback)
After reading about 20 books on the subject of MIDI and music technology, I found that "Midi for the Technophobe" is the only one written so that anyone can understand what is being explained. It is written as if the reader has absolutely no prior experience in the music technology field and explains each little word with care.

Perfect first MIDI read...,
By Galactic Kegger "kiki_ragsdale" (Cedar Hill, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MIDI: For the Technophobe (Paperback)
I've been a musician most of my life, and a computer and software engineer for over 15 years. I am NOT a technophobe, yet MIDI hasn't come easy for me. It is the only "science" that has given me fits... until now.Mr. White's 'MIDI for the Technophobe' explains in simple terms how to make MIDI work. After the first 2 chapters I had a fundamental understanding of the connectivity & interaction between MIDI components. It is a slow read at first, but it has to be to clarify what other books assume their readers can figure out for themselves. That's what makes this book so excellent for first-time and beginning MIDI users - it doesn't bury you in buzzwords, it buries you in visualizations on how it all connects and makes music. A great book for the analog musician who wants to add MIDI synths, percussions and orchestrations to their recordings!
