I'm sure the OP will either put us all in the pocket by now, after more than 4 years after asking the initial question. Either that, or he gave up on everything.

Wouldn't recommend this one. It's essentially a list of sounds you do via samples instead nowadays... and very basic settings. No technique or tips'n tricks. I bought it several years ago expecting something in the way of Simon Cann's book - it isn't.

Well, on second thoughts, I suppose it's better than starting a new thread, maybe?
Although this kind of thing is what google is for.

Curtis Roads, 'The Computer Music Tutorial':

https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/computer-music-tutorial

Tristram Cary, 'The Dictionary of Musical Technology':

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dictionary-Mus ... 0313286949

Sold both a few years back, were great but don't really miss them.

Best single text on digital audio is Ken C Pohlmann's 'The Principles of Digital Audio', it's the standard university text:

Dance Music Manual - Rick Snowman was like a bible to me when I was just coming out of beginner stage.

It was this thread were I came across "Unlocking the Groove". I didn't directly help with production, but a fascinating read none the less.

What Books do you recommend for Electronic Music Production/Composing or Sound Design
