WTF!!! (0/1 people found this helpful)
The first version of this book is available as a free ebook which you can download off the authors website, if you buy this hard copy you will then need to spend another $10 on some patches for the synths which are not included when you buy it, you can download additional 'refills' which give you more info which is not available in the free version (but is in the hard copy), then you will need to buy six software synthesizers to do the various tutorials with, You could get the demos but they might time out before you could complete the whole book, you do the math!!!
It is a shame because the author realy knows he's stuff when it comes to the subject of sound design, why he did not choose to use some of the many exellent freeware synths available to impart his knowledge is beyond me. Not everyone will like/want/need the six synths he uses, not everyone could afford to buy them either.
Five stars for knowledge, zero stars for business acumin!!!
