This review is from: Power Tools: Software for Loop Music (Paperback)
What a great little book! This slim volume has more genuinely useful information than many larger (more expensive) books. If you are beginner to creating music from sampled loops, this will be a great introduction, giving you an overview, reviewing the various tools, and passing along tips. (I was initially put off by the multiple reviews - for example, of Live versions 1, 2, and 3 - but they do actually build upon each other.) Both beginners and pros will benefit from the no-nonesense sections on copyright, creating your own loops, suggested libraries, mixing, and other tips and tricks. The writing style is very friendly - this is not a textbook - but again, manages to tell you want you really need to know without wasting your time. The CD contains demo versions of some of the programs mentioned, and free loops. An excellent find.
