Free download Free Download Becoming a Synthesizer Wizard from 4shared, mediafire, hotfile, and mirror link With the rise digital recording software and the advent of the “one man computer music studio” there has been an astronomical rise in the number of people with software instruments, but many of these musicians have no idea how to use the modular synthesizers included with their music software programs. “Becoming a Synthesizer Wizard: From Presets to Power User” is the first book that explains what a modular synthesizer is, how it works, and how to use software synthesizers to make music. The book takes a highly practical approach to the subject providing a readable guide which opens up the subject to a broad spectrum of readers. It begins by explaining what the basic building blocks of modular synthesis are, and how they interact. Then it continues to specific exercises utilizing software synthesizers that will be readily available to the reader, regardless of platform or digital audio workstation of choice.Download latest books on mediafire and other links compilation Free Download Becoming a Synthesizer Wizard [Kindle Edition]

The author added lots of historical references until the second chapter. At first I thought it was boring but this actually gave me a very deep fundamental to what I called my eureka on synthesizers. I have used synths before without a whole lot of basis and this brought me a much better point of view.
It also describes modern techniques including additive, subtractive and samplers.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand how to design sounds. It's definitely a must have for keyboard players, and on my case was one of the best tech books I have bought in years.
Very well written!

I know the author is knowledgable, but the book is too heavily geared toward one piece of Windows-only software. Even though other reviews refer to this, and the author himself talks about it in the first section of the book, I was not prepared for how much of the text is dedicated to the particular software the author uses.
I was looking for a tutorial on synthesis - and it is in there, but to get to those nuggets, the reader has to wade through grainy black-and-white screenshots of a Windows synthesizers, and paragraphs of "click here and mouse here" text about that software to get to the good, basic synthy stuff.
And there IS some good stuff here - information on MIDI, digital audio, signal flow, and how to get a sound from point A to point Z. There is a great small book inside this larger book.
If you are willing and able to use the software the author uses, and/or willing to wade through that software-specific information to get to the basics, it might be a good book - but I found it useless. The book is also cheaply made, if that matters to you. It wouldn't have mattered to me if the information within was more universal, and more clearly laid out. But that was not the case here.
I returned my copy.
