Title: Good writer, but this book is WAY too basic
Product review: First off, I have read and loved the writing of author Craig Anderton for many years. He has a way of both making complex topics easy for beginners, and for taking professionals to a new level.That said, this book was a real disappointment. I would ONLY recommend it for someone who is very new to music software, very young, or who has no access to the internet to download the Reason demo or partake of the several Reason discussion groups online .The Propellorheads team offers a fully functional (except "save") demo, so you can try the program out for free. Many online groups offer technical aid to beginners.If you buy Reason, you get a very well written printed manual with a good "Quick Start" manual, along with an in-depth pdf manual. That, along with Reason's excellent free tech support team and robust online community, are more than you need to help you get up & running with this complex program, demo or paid.Save the [$] toward your own copy of Reason.
