Reviews

[Ian W · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was all in all a very helpful book. The thing that kind of bugged me is that the copywrite is 1997 and that means that not all of the stuff that they say is true today. Like how editing music and things like that you can't do at home very easily. Now, you can do that pretty easily if you just have the knowledge. I rated it only four stars because it wasn't one of those books that I just wanted to keep reading and go back to every second of the day.
