 Composing Digital Music for Dummies April 22, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'm pretty musically challenged but I found myself actually composing with this book, it's so easy to understand and just walked me on through the steps. Wonderful software and it was really some fun to use too. It was a gift to me and I think I'll probably buy another as a gift for a friend like me. Who knew that music could be such fun.
Excellent Book April 18, 2008

This book is great for people who are just starting out composing their own music. Vines goes through the entire process in a detailed and coherent manner. He provides overviews on the music industry andthe history of digital music. He is careful to explain the history and reasoning behind digital music which gives the book great depth. He even explains some of the more basic information about music. If you have an interest making your own music this book is a great place to start.

6 out of 7 found this review helpful
A fine introduction to digital composing. Straight forward and fun to read. Not too technical, but will also keep techies happy. Lots of helpful resources beyond the book. Vines lets you know what you need to start out so you don't spend a fortune on fancy equipment. The book also talks about the business of music, putting your music out there and getting in touch with other musicians. The accompanying CD has templates for composing for various instruments in a variety of musical styles. Don't forget to check out Vines' bio. It's funny. He's a real musician. The guy's been around, and he knows what he's talking about.
A great guide and reference... April 5, 2008
I found this book very helpful -- from explaining the background of the digital music revolution, to getting started from scratch, to advanced tricks and techniques. The samples, templates, and demo version of Sibelius 5 on the CD got me up and running quick.
