5.0 out of 5 stars The Next Step, October 13, 2005
This book not only will help you begin to expand what you can do with Acid Pro 5.0, but will also provide a review of basic music theory and song creation. It is more detailed, and not as fun to read as "Instant Acid" but can actually serve as a reference as you continue to grow in your technical abilities. You can hear how I used the info by lisening to Griffman on acidplanet.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and informative, October 4, 2007
By prophet dog (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This book is packed with everything you need to use Sony's Acid Pro to it's fullest. The information is clearly presented with lot's of screen shots, tips and suggestions. The chapters take you from just getting around in the program to detailed discussion of all the FX available and when and where to use them, to mastering loop manipulation, using MIDI, and publishing your work. I found useful information in every chapter. The book is well organized. Each topic in a chapter has its own sub-heading with usually about a half-page of text, making it easy to put down, play with what you've learned, and then continue. This book also explains several ways to jump from feature to feature, including menu navigation and short-cut keys. This is a great book for learning the software and to have on hand as a reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intermediate Level Tutorial/Reference Book, February 16, 2005
Sub-Title: The Official Guide to Sony ACID Pro 5 Software : The Official Guide to Sony's ACID Pro 5 (Power!)

ACID Pro, at about $400 retail (about $250 discounted) isn't the cheapest or the most expensive music processing software. It is probably the most popular loop based creation and remixing software sold.

This book is intended to be both a tutorial and a reference book and it does that by spending the first couple of chapters leading you through a tutorial before moving to a more reference like format. It is intended to be a supplement to the manual that comes with the product, at once providing more basic understanding of the underlying philosophy of loop generated music.

Mr. Frank, the author is a multimedia artist specializing in digital video production and scoring. He has used ACID to create music for a wide variety of customers.

This is an intermediate to advanced level book, as the author says, play around with the software first, and then we'll settle down to doing some work.
