Out of Date!
PCRS4D was published in 2005 and is now completely out of date. I am a fledging computer music composer, and if you are too, you will find the book of next to no use. And,as if that wasn't enough, author Jeff Strong's style is much drier than the usual "For Dummies" fare-PCRS4 is a very dull read. Not recommended!!
