From the Author
This book acts as a key to understanding music technology
Ross Kirk and I have been teaching and developing music technology courses for the last decade. In that time we've learnt a bit about what students really need to know- whether they come from a music or a technological background. This book summarises what we teach. We acknowledge there's a lot of detailed information 'out there' in other books and on the web, but we felt that an overview was missing. So, we've written that overview - trying to let you understand how and why music technology works. The web-site we provide with the book gives you loads of links to all the major topics covered in the book, so you can see other people's perspectives, and get detailed up-to-date information. The book provides the 'key' to understanding and piecing together that information into a consistent story. We really hope you find the book and site enjoyable and useful, and would welcome any comments.
