    • Good tips, but poorly organized as an instruction book
Maybe I've been spoiled by the excellent tutorials in Apple's Pro Training Series (e.g., Final Cut Pro HD) books. The way the concepts are presented and then immediately followed with step by step tutorials (including pictures of many steps) is superb for learning. Mr. Kurasaki's book doesn't quite measure up in this respect. There's a lot of text to wade through in some chapters that begs an *immediate* example to illustrate the concept. Also it would have been nice if some of the more lengthy examples could have been included on the CD-ROM, since some of them take some time to get programmed, esp. some of the Matrix data. I'm still searching for a really good intermdiate/advanced Reason tutorial. Hopefully with the arrival of Reason 3 something will emerge. As for this book, I'm giving it three stars for useful content and withholding two stars for its organization and examples. ... show more

    • Filled with useful and unusual ideas
As has been noted by previous reviewers, Power Tools for Reason 2.5 is not for beginners. In this guide, you will find a wealth of information about how to create sophistated and unsual instrument/effect routings that will greatly expand your musical palette. The bulk of the book focuses on Reason's different CV routing possibilities, and you really can achieve a lot by treating the entire Reason rack as if it were one big modular synthesizer. I do have a couple of criticisms. I was hoping for more information, tips, and tricks for working with Subtractor and Malstrom. There is actually surprisingly little here about working at the synthesizer level. My second criticism is that some of the CV routing diagrams are not explained in much detail. You will definitely have to spend some time studying the diagrams (and not just following the manual's instructions) if you want to understand what is going on. These are small criticisms considering the great favor Mr. Kuraski has done Reason users by publishing this book. You'll learn a lot here. ... show more

    • Excelente libro..pero............
Es un excelente libro, pero se requiere un conocimiento previo del programa así como de de las características de algunos procesos de audio. Si juntamos este libro con el Power Reason 2.5 quedamos completos y con los conocimientos necesarios para crear música con este excelente programa. El libro en si viene muy bien explicado, aunque como dije anteriormente no es para novatos. Las ilustraciónes son en blanco y negro. Se hace bastante grato el leerlo, aparte viene con un cd con algunos refills extras y ejemplos de las funciones mas avanzadas de reason. Le puse 4 estrellas, debido a que todavía no encuentro un libro que reuna todas las características que busco. Excelente compra!! Salu2 ... show more
