Guitarist's Guide to Computer Music
by Robin Vincent (9781870775878)

'All this computer music nonsense is to do with electronic bleeps, silly noises and dance music isn't it?' You couldn't be more wrong. A computer is far more suited to recording live 'real' music than anything else. Whether you play jazz, rock, punk, blues, folk, pop, classical, blugrass or skiffle, the computer is the perfect tool for recording real instruments. It can be exactly the same as recording to tape but with the added advantage of having an endless supply of effects, drums, backing and mixing, and at the end of the session you can put your music straight onto CD. 'But I like all my hardware gear' Then you can keep it. A computer will add to your musical arsenal not take anything away, so you can use your existing gear together with the computer. Included with the book is a CD containing a fully working demo version of Steinberg's studio recording software Cubase SX, and other useful bits like software guitar effects and a tuner. This book will take you through the easy steps of recording and producing music on your computer, with example songs and detailed illustrations.
