Both books are a great value, imo, but if you write only instrumentals, I'd suggest picking up the TV & Film book first. Most of the shortcuts in both books are "music literacy" agnostic. (I consider that to be both a strength and a weakness of both books, but I totally understand why they weren't written specifically for notation readers,Tim_Behrens wrote:Are these books geared toward someone who is writing music for film/TV who is primarily doing instrumentals? Or another way to ask that... is there any value in them for someone who is planning primarily to write production music?
I'm curious, but haven't made the leap to buy them yet.
