Digital DJ July 15, 2007
More Ltd (New Zealand)
It's very basic for digital DJ. Which is suitable for a absolute biginner.
This book could have more of technics on the beat mixing rather than scatching technics.
Thanks.
 Title not at all what it seems April 15, 2007

This book, in my opinion is mistitled. I bought it hoping to gain some insight and knowledge into digital music mixing and that is what the other reviewer, as well as the title of the book promised. First off, only cd mixing is even mentioned and the book does an ok job describing this. Laptop mixing software and other formats besides cd, which are growing more prevalent in music mixing are nowhere to be found. I did not get what I was hoping to from this title. Secondly, this title seems to be more geared towards a scratch dj than a digital dj. Thirdly, the title is in an 'ultimate beginner series' but doesn't even give you any pointers on selecting the proper gear, hooking it up, or powering on properly, which are all things that seem to me to be very important to an ultimate beginner. The one saving grace if this title is the 2 identical discs that come with it which allow you to learn the techniques mentioned within firsthand, and along with the book. Lastly, I would suggest 'How to DJ Right: the art and science of playing records' over this title. It is less expensive in price, covers everything that this title covers and many more things that this one doesnt, goes more in depth and also provides you with other resources and avenues to expand on what you learned from the book.
 Great Value!!! October 5, 2005

This book does a very good job of teaching digital dj basics, while giving you a basic concept of traditional djing. Exceptional value for the price.
