5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for all musicians, October 17, 2002

By	Katie (Washington DC, USA) - See all my reviews

This book is packed with great information about all aspects of the music industry, from "how to" basics for getting the best sound for any style of music, to recording tips, to insider dirt on the way music is marketed in modern times. Whether you're a DJ, and "singer songwriter" or a member of a rock hard punk band, there's something in this book for you. I read it in one sitting, and can't wait to use the practical knowledge I've gained to further my music career. Look for me at the very top!
