Magic Dave/Hal leonard DP book!

Post by frankymax »

Hey there- I'm sorry if this has already been posted but I just saw that Magic Dave has a new book out published by Hal Leonard called "The Power in Digital Performer"! I just ordered it as I'm always sure to learn new stuff from MD! Here's an Amazon link:

http://www.amazon.com/Power-Digital-Per ... 1476815145

I'm hoping there'll be some new stuff that will make me a million dollar hit!! :D

What? Have they removed the "Record Hits" button?

[checking…] Hey, it's still there! Right there in the Marker's Mini-Menu! The secret to winning Grammies! Just pull down the menu to Record Hits, and you're good to go ahead and rent that tuxedo!

Anyone seen an ebook version?

Something's fishy. We've been buying up these supposedly few copies, yet the number hasn't really gone down, in fact, it's gone up a couples times. Also, how the hell do they have used copies of a book that hasn't even been out a month, and takes a few weeks to ship? Not to mention, who would want to re-sell a manual?

Riddle me that!

That's a lot of promos. Maybe we have to wait for a print run. I've read that a lot of books are printed in very small runs now, depending on demand. Still want the e-book version.

I dunno- you guys may be over thinking this! The Amazon site initially said there were 2 copies in stock but more were on their way soon when I first saw this so maybe more have arrived from Hal Leonard? I ordered one from an independent discounter via Amazon for $11 + shipping and I just got an email from Amazon saying it's shipped and I should receive it in about a week.
As far as e-books, I'm not sure if Hal Leonard does e-books, etc. Maybe they do, I'm just not sure...

Anyway, I'll report back here when I get it and let you know if I learned anything earth-shattering about DP! (Like Shooshie's report about Record Hits- if only I knew!!!) :)
