Well written chapters include hip hop, rock n roll, and DJing. Lots of engaging projects. Another reviewer wrote "outdated information" but this is not the case because the chapters provide a history of music technology as well as current information. Don't expect a book on how to operate ProTools or Ableton, but instead expect a guide for beginning students getting their feet wet in the wide world of music technology. Review: . - . outdated information
