Personal Review For Music Projects With Propellerhead Reason, July 7, 2007

Mr. Shaun E. Taylor (United Kingdom)
I found this book very interesting as it shows the basic setup stages of "Propellerhead Reason 3" As I am a professional in music production, I found some of the infomation a bit to basic and not really what I was looking for. On the other hand it helped me with a few confusions but other than that, I more or less already know what to do within "Propellerhead Reason 3!" I think this book is very good and therefore is a good start for beginners in the electronic music scene, however it can also help out the odd pro with one or two things that you might have not known!

Unreasonall kidding aside, its a great book. I was a little put off by what seemed to be a lack of actual song structure. The book is designed to walk you through exercizes to get you used to using the software in this manner. The author encourages that you follow along b ut to create on your own. The book is like having an experienced friend lookin over your shoulder and offering advice. Its definitly worth the price of admission.
