5.0 out of 5 stars Jump Lightyears Ahead with "Cakewalk Power!", August 31, 2000
By Thomas Boyles (Medford, OR) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Cakewalk Power!" is a book on Cakewalk that is not only perfectly written but will take you from beginner to advanced, intermediate to advanced or advanced to even more advanced. I carry it around with me everywhere and find myself reading it whenever I have a free moment during my daily routine. I've learned a lot and owe a lot to Scott Garrigus for guiding me through Cakewalk better than I ever thought possible. You won't regret having this book and won't need any others on Cakewalk... really!

5.0 out of 5 stars Praise for Cakewalk Power!, June 6, 2000
By George Allaman (Denver, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been glued to this book since I got it. I thought the text that came with Pro Audio 9 was good, and I thought the problems I was having were due only to my own ignorance of stuff that most recording grunts regard as common sense.

In particular - and this is a good example - I was bamboozled by how to mix down a project that contains audio and MIDI data so I could record it to a CD. The original Cakewalk book doesn't discuss this at all. This book went into great detail and left no stone unturned.

In addition, the book is well written, and -unlike many 'for dummies' books aimed at musicians - doesn't talk down to me, or try to couch all the information in the too-cool-for-school verbage all too common in this genre. I appreciated the detail, even on subjects like digital audio that I already know well.

In short, this book does a better job of doing what the original Pro Audio 9 book from the manufacturer should have done in the first place. Thanks, Scott, and keep up the good work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a Cakewalk book for humans !, July 24, 2000
By A. Schek (Aventura, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It might sound crazy, but this book made me buy the software it referes to! Really! Thanks to this book I decided to buy the latest Cakewalk software, because it really explains the software in a human understandable way !

I am a beginner with Cakewalk, so I can't really tell if this is a good book for more advanced users, but for me, it's the new bible around.

And better yet, the author, Scott Garrigus, has a website where he answers ALL the questions we as readers have not only regarding his book, but also regarding MIDI and recording in general.

I also love the fact that the author refers in the book to modern computers (like Pentium III) and other "fresh" technology in the market.
