Make Music Now! is an easy-to-read, non-technical, fun introduction to putting together and using a home studio. In addition to describing important concepts and gear-related topics, this book offers how-to tips and tricks, cost-effective technological guidance, and creative inspiration for using computers to make and distribute original music. The first section is an overview of gear: what the various pieces are, why they are necessary, how each one works, and tips on what to look for when shopping. The second section suggests fun ideas for home studio projects, and describes the basics of distributing music online, burning CDs, and more.

A Must Have for all interested in learning home recording!!!,
By Dean Massalsky (Grosse Ile, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Make Music Now!: Putting Your Studio Together, Recording Songs, Making CDs, and Distributing Online (Paperback)
Make Music Now!: Putting Your Studio Together, Recording Songs, Making CDs, and Distributing Online by Mitch Gallagher (Editor) This inexpensive book is one of the best small recording/music production information sources I have read. It covers many topics, with enough detail to give a firm understanding for the novice-intermediate home recording musician, while at the same time not overwhelming him/her. It is easy to read, well divided by topic and extremely affordable. It is also thin enough to pop into your laptop case. I'd highly recommend buying a copy to anyone confused by the ANY key concepts in recording or home music production. This is a MUST have. I work for a public school system, and this book would also make an excellent text for any teachers interested in adding recording/MIDI to their curriculum.BUY IT!

Thorough, yet EZ,
By Edna May (SE OK USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Make Music Now!: Putting Your Studio Together, Recording Songs, Making CDs, and Distributing Online (Paperback)
I have a lot of books on this subject, but this is the easiest and most clearly written book for the beginning home recordist I have seen. Mitch knows his business and also how to teach. He includes all necessary technical terms but explains them through simple analogy. Its almost like having a personal tutor there to help you. He anticipates and provides soulutiions for common problems that may, and probably will, arise. The book is thorough in that he takes you from shopping for and buying the right equipment, to recording and burning your music CD and distributing it online.
