Recommended Reading?
Has anyone gotten any recommended reading in any of their critiques?I just had one out of three Latin pieces forwarded and attached to the critique was the recommendation that I read:"The Beginner's Guide to Computer Based Music Production"Should I be pleased the reviewer is trying to be helpful or a little insulted as I sit in my studio with an Atari 1040ST computer in the corner that I started doing midi stuff on in 1987.

Yes, books such as "The Craft of Lyric Writing" have been recommended to me.

Re: Recommended Reading?
Chuck,I've had recommended listening comments but never reading. I don't quite get the book recommendation though, from what I've heard of your stuff, you're not even close to being a beginner. Congrats on the forward, any chance we could hear what you did?Mazz

imagine if John Williams and Trent Reznor met at Bernard Hermann's for lunch and Brian Eno was the head chef!

Quote:Hey guys and gals,FYI, recommended reading:http://www.taxi.com/abouts/reading.htmljimiThat's a very comprehensive list. Great work Taxi. I'm very happy to see the Moses Avalon book on there as well, as reccomended reading. A little bird told me once to take everything he says with a grain of salt. Do you think we could create a ratings system for thebooks on this list?

Re: Recommended Reading?
I am constantly reading books to improve my music and business skills. I also read nearly every music technology magazine etc. I am certainly not opposed to recommendations of books to improve, however it is difficult to recommend any book to someone until you know what the person has already read and has in their library and an overall feel of the skill sets already developed.Bill Clinton has earned $16.1 million dollars delivering speeches in the last year and a half.That would be an important fact to know if you wanted to recommend a book on communication to him.Chuck
