Customer Reviews
Excellent book
This book is full of helpful information,and very important facts you have to know before entering the music business
Content is fine; Audio quality is trash
This author is knowledgeable and touched on a lot of subject, but doesn’t go very in depth. He tends to plug his on firm often, which is fine, but noticeable.
Overall quality of the book is decent and if you are starting from scratch and zero knowledge then it will definitely help introduce some topics and terms to you. For this who have been in the industry for a little bit of time may find this book useless.
The audio quality of reading is very poor, and sounds like it was recorded on a low budget microphone. As long as you get past this, the overall diction is fine.
Everything ‼️
This is my new Bible🙏🏽
