Music Theory for Electronic Music Producers: The producer's guide to harmony, chord progressions, and song structure in the MIDI grid.

I've never done anything with music in my life (other than listening to it) and just started working on learning to DJ, which has led me to wanting to remix and mashup edm songs. This book is perfect and explains it well for non-musicians. The only thing I don't like is in my edition, the screen capture of the ableton stuff is in grey tones, but the book mentions "note the orange square" but I was able to figure it out. I recommend this book

Learned some helpful tips from here

Es un repaso a la teoría básica que se necesita para empezar a crear musica. Hay ejemplos de como analizar las canciones y esa pienso yo es la !será correcta de empezar un proyecto.

It is a easy read and the topics are well explained. I have a much better understanding of music theory having read this book.

As an electronic music production hobbyist and prior high school musician I had a low level concept of music theory. Ive purchased several other music theory books to up my knowledge but this one clicks the best. Seeing the theory displayed in a DAW piano roll vs treble/bass clef helps me retain the concepts so much better. Dr. Allen’s teaching style is excellent in helping to understand & retain the concepts.

I was expecting a fairly dry set of rules and tips, and instead found a book that actually helped me to understand music theory better than any teacher I’ve yet had. Great use of examples to drive home the concepts.

not yet start reading, but it look good.

This is an excellent introduction to music theory covering all the typical topics but using the MIDI grid rather than traditional music notation. Highly recommended, but it does have a large number of typos which should have been caught before it went to print.
