Print the Reason Manual instead. September 29, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a very diappointing book, covering no more that the documentation that comes with Reason. In addition, it comes with an annoying graphic layout and very poor quality screen grabs. Not recommended

This book is very detailed as to the functionality of the different components. does not cover music creation goals as such. pretty good to get to know the technical functionality of reason.
A good book for beginners, but not for experienced users. August 17, 2005 14 out of 15 found this review helpful
Being a fan of music creation software I have tried them all and found Reason to be the best as I am not musical and do not play instruments or know a lot about chords, therefore Reason is perfect as it allows you to plug in instruments as well as the massive collection of instrument samples. I have used Reason 2.5 for several months and was very experienced by the time Reason 3.0 was released, I bought this book to take my experience further but was disappointed to find that it covers all of the basics, but hardly any of the expert methods. There are things I find essential to creating good music in Reason, that are not even mentioned in this book, for example I use the automation tool for laying my tracks, but this book doesn't really cover that, it just touches on it. It shows you how to do some advanced/expert stuff but never really goes into detail of how you would take it further, it shows you one way of achieving something and one way only, it does not ellaborate at all, all the built-in machines differ and it does not cover how to use these skills with the several other machine.The big advantage of this book is that you can go from not knowing anything to quite a lot as each step is very well done and is very descriptive with screenshots of what happens through each step. It goes from A-Z of all the features offered to you and covers all machines you will use to create your own unique music. I would recommend this book for anybody who is new to digitally creating music in reason, and for those people who use it but want to expand their knowledge further. But for anybody who knows exactly what they are doing in reason should look else where as this book will teach you nothing new.
