1 out of 5 stars A Waste of Time and Money   March 16, 2004
Almost completely worthless. You'll be better off reading the "Getting Started" manual that comes with the program. The videos on the CD are kind of nice but there are few of them and they are certainly not worth the price of this book.

Save your money buy the "Users' Guide to Propellerhead Reason 2" by Derek Johnson and Debbie Poyser. Even if you know nothing this book will get you going on the road a lot better than this waste of money (sorry still a little bitter).

I didn't know much about Reason, but I knew more than this book. This book is too basic even for the most green of neophytes.

Believe me.


3 out of 5 stars QuickStart is a great start... er, you know what I mean!   March 7, 2003
The QuickStart series is fantastic. I have several books for web design applications and they're great for getting into the middle of things. They teach you enough to cause a lot of trouble and have fun in the process. Not everyone has time or the patience to read the boring manuals that come with the program. This guide has great screenshots of the application and explanations of how it works and is very cool for anyone who has always wanted to get into making their own computer based music but was intimidated by the expensive and complicated tools of the trade...

I absolutely agree with the general consensus here that Quick Start books are NOT recommended for those who have any significant experience in music software. However, the books have been well-received by people who find today's music software intimidating, and that is the target audience.

Music Sales, the publisher, has always stressed in their promotional materials that the Quick Start series is for *absolute beginners* who want to get up and running fast, but apparently that message is not getting across.

I appreciate the opportunity to clarify this, as like any other author, I want people to be satisfied with their purchases and not buy something for the wrong reasons.


1 out of 5 stars very shallow for someone who understand music software...   October 25, 2002
 2 out of 4 found this review helpful

it's very thin,
it's very basic,
it costs too much!
i'm sorry but you can spend 30 minutes on the demo and know it all.
i think it's for the first time ever user-music software encounter, if you are not new to music creation tools don't spend your money, belive me.
if you don't have a clue about music creation and soft-synths
then it's a very basic book that you'll read and won't touch again after an hour,sorry
