This is an amazingly great introductory book to the world of sampling, and digital audio. I can't say enough about it. If you're just starting out, and want an easy to read, yet extremely informative book - buy this book! It was released this year, 2005, so it also has the advantage of having very current information and thoughts on the various hardware and software options that are available. But more importantly, you learn a lot about the science and art of making/editing samples. Good job on this one.

It's exactly what it says it is. Might be a little overwhelming for a beginner, but not a bad book.

i was kinda skeptic at first but i wanted to learn about sampling and how to do it properly. I've been messing with music for the past year or two and this book has brought my sampling to a whole new level. Slice up a beat with programs featured in the book and you're well on your way to sampling greatness. I recommend this book for any up and coming music makers. The included samples are beautiful. :D

I was expecting a book that would explain how to record and alter samples to use with the pads on my MIDI controller. Instead I got a book on how to rip off other people's music without getting sued. If you are an honest musician who wants to create everything yourself, then this book is not for you. On the otherhand, if you want to be like Vanilla Ice, then this is a great book.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SAMPLES.YOU SHOULD LOOK AT IT .BUT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW "HOW" PEOPLE USE SAMPLES MAKE MUSIC .THIS IS NOT YOU WANT.
