Like a music production, DJing, or Trance related book?



One book I would highly recommend would have to be Dance Music Manual by Rick Snoman. I'd like to say that I am in no way affiliated with Rick Snoman in anyway other than by owning his book. Don't let that vivaciously generic and innocent  title fool you for one second. Snoman has been a big part of the EDM community for many years and is very well versed. The book is broken into 3 parts and I cannot recommend it highly enough

    -Technology and Theory
  • Sound design
  • Compression and Effects
  • Mixing & Mastering 
  • Programming theory
  • Music theory

    -Dance Genres
  • House
  • Trance
  • UK Garage
  • Techno
  • Hip-Hop (Rap)
  • Trip-Hop
  • Ambient/Chill Out
  • Drum 'n' Bass
    -Mixing and Promotion
  • Mixing
  • Mastering
  • Publishing and Promotion
  • Remixing and Sample Clearance
  • A DJ's Perspective

    -7-part Appendix
  •  Binary and Hex
  • Decimal to Hexadecimal Conversion Table
  • General MIDI Instrument Patch Maps
  • General MIDI CC List
  • Sequencer Note Divisions
  • Tempo Delay Time Chart
  • Musical Note to MIDI and Frequencies
     -And an awesome index too!
