Title: Free manual is better...
Product review: This book is REALLY thin, large print, essentially a very basic guide to Reason. You'd do much better to download the demo of Reason and take a look at the accompanying documentation or simply go to the Propellerheads.se site and read the synopses for each of the tools included in Reason. It might seem complex (there's a lot in it!), but Reason is for the most part very straight forward-- you'll learn everything in the book by playing w/ the free demo in about 5-10 minutes. The only thing you may need to look up is how to output matching MIDI data for the REX files (that's in the docs).As far as the book goes, I suggest looking at it in person first and get it only if you've got a bit of extra cash in your pocket. My recommendation: Pass on this and use the $[money] toward buying the real app.
