Customer Reviews

All the info you need!
I had a good look around all the different books on this subject before deciding to buy this one, and I'm really pleased I did. This book has only just been published so it's bang up to date and includes all the latest technology - ableton live etc - which is really helpful especially if you're just starting out and want to make an informed decision on which format you're going to be using. The other great thing about this book is that it's just the right length - it goes into just enough depth to make you feel you really understand each aspect, but doesn't waffle on for ages about stuff you don't really need to know and you just want to get on with doing it!

Also, the author manages to be humourous and very readable which is another reason why this DJing book is better than others out there.
