Even better, this is an exclusive Sweetwater Publishing e-book with free updates. We know technology is always changing, so information goes out of date. That’s no longer a problem! Sweetwater’s e-books are revised periodically. Not only do new buyers get the latest information, but e-book buyers can also download free updated versions, just like software “point” versions that go from 1.0 to 1.1. Although updates for new editions, like changing from software version 1.0 to version 2.0, are available at a reduced price, to thank you for your support this book is an exception—owners of 1.X versions still get a free update to 2nd Edition updates as our gift to you.
Being available only as a downloadable PDF file keeps the price affordable compared to print books — and, of course, there’s a search function. Also, click on a link in the table of contents or in the body of the book, and you’ll jump immediately to what you want to read.
From touring in the ’60s, to session work on guitar and synthesizer in the ’70s, to engineering and production in the ’80s to the present day, author/musician Craig Anderton is internationally recognized as an authority on music technology.
