Making Music with Your Computer 2E [Paperback] Review

I think the best title for this book should be "Making Music With Your Computer BUT Let's Learn about Music Theory and Do The Music in a Later Edition."This book is more about theory than programming music on your computer.The theory in this book assumes you know how to read music.It does not instruct those without a clue, but I was lucky to have already known how to read music.If you're looking for a book to give you some insight to write commercial music, this isn't the book.If you're looking for ideas on composing for an orchestra, buy it.
So, what's good about the book?There are a few chapters on mastering, MIDI, and sound synthesis.They aren't highly detailed, but it will give you a clue to what those topics are about.
