MIDI, Mixers, etc. Editorial Review

The "Music Theory for Electronic Music Producers" by Florian Meindl is a book that focuses on harmony, chord progressions, and song structures in MIDI grid. The book has helpful and well-written content that will aid electronic music producers in understanding music theory, with a section for absolute beginners. The book is easy to read and understand, and the topics covered are well explained. However, the book has received criticism over the author's inability to adequately explain the theory concepts. The writing is poorly edited, with typos and grammatical errors that make reading the book frustrating. The author sometimes references theory concepts without first explaining them, making it difficult for readers to comprehend what is being conveyed in the text. Also, all interior pictures in the book are in grayscale, making them challenging to read and interpret. Overall, Meindl's "Music Theory for Electronic Music Producers" is a valuable resource for beginners seeking to understand music theory in the context of electronic music production. However, readers may need additional reading material to supplement the book's inadequacies in explaining certain concepts.
