This review is from: Reason 3 Power! (Paperback)
I bought this book because this was supposedly written for "advanced" users of Reason. Im halfway through reading this and I havent learned a thing. It goes through and identifies what all the knobs do and gives a very rudimentary explanation of audio recording and signal flow. I was expecting a book that would give more technique on how to get certain sounds, get better mixes, and how to really use and program the synths. The "advanced" material here has more to do with using the hotkeys than anything that has to do with audio. Plus I thought that with 532 pages there would be something I would learn. Nope, there are whole pages dedicated to screen shots of nothing but what appears in such-and-such a menu. If you own the manual, this book is a complete waste of time, money and bookshelf space.

Reason 3 Power Rules!,
By VF (CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reason 3 Power! (Paperback)
I've been a Reason user since the 2.0 days, but this book has so much more to talk about! The new features are explained very clearly, and the author details informative tutorials that even a newbie could understand.
I'm so inspired to create new scary Combinator patches! Thanks Matt Piper!

This review is from: Reason 3 Power! (Paperback)
I really want to give 2.5 stars. It's really just sort of a dry, rote listing of every control on every rack device. The examples lack aesthetics and interest. A lot of the better info is tucked away among the odd collection of sidebars, captions and block quotes. The illustrations are likewise offset from context and in funny formats. Typically, the illustration for the point in the text is several paragraphs later in the book. Also there are a lot of partial shots of the interface so you sort of have to track down the area of the device interface the book references. It's just a petty annoyance, no worse.
The info that's in there is accurate, and that's good, but it is neither in an easily referenced format, nor a format that would cause tidbits to stick in your memory. It's just sort of "there". I'm still reading it cover-to-cover because, well, I paid for it so I may as well get all I can out of it. There are much more entertaining and stimulating books out there -- one which even has the word "Power" in its title, too.
