Its a good read, provides a good introduction - but imho, loopops incomplete guide to electronic music is a much better investment of time and energy ..

.. very definitely worth the effort to get it downloaded for offline reading, also.

Loopop's guide looks interesting, but to unlock the book I had to join (for free) the Patreon channel. Then it immediately tells me that to unlock the book I have to become a paid member.

It turns out that the free tier only gets you notifications when new content is published; to read that content, you have to pay.

I wouldn't mind paying, but dislike the bait and switch approach.
