Waves Plug-Ins Workshop: Mixing by the Bundle
The importance of plug-ins for adding and enhancing application functionality cannot be denied; they are present in every current Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) application today, giving them the power and functionality that they have today. However, they vary greatly, as they are often designed to address very specific market needs, and as a result, it is more important than ever before to have a solid knowledge of how plug-ins work. WAVES PLUG-INS WORKSHOP: MIXING BY THE BUNDLE introduces students to a variety of valuable Waves plug-ins used in mixing. Each chapter presents them with the plug-ins in a specific bundle, detailing how they would be used in a mix. Beginning with the least expensive Waves bundle and building up to their most complete bundle, students will build upon their knowledge with each successive chapter. Audio files and plug-in presets will be provided for download so students can literally hear the power of these tools. Whether they are seeking an understanding of what some of the bundles out there today can do for them or they are looking for new ways to use the plug-ins they already have, this book is the perfect resource.

Mozart & His Piano Concertos
This classic of music criticism provides detailed studies of 23 of Mozart's piano concertos. In addition to establishing the lines along which the genre developed, the concertos also shed light upon the technical and inspirational growth of their creator.

The author compares and contrasts each piece with Mozart's other works and with compositions by Beethoven, Haydn, and other composers. A definite text for musicologists, performers, teachers, and students, this study's clarity and personable tone make it accessible to any lover of Mozart's music.

CubaJazz - Complementary Harmonic System, w/CD
This Harmonic System complementary to traditional harmony aims at making the contemporary harmonic language effortlessly accessible to everyone interested. Unlike other harmonic systems or treatises on the same subject, the Harmonic System proposed by Orlando S nchez "Cubajazz" is made up of chords formed on the basis of one note (bass) plus a perfect major chord. Founded on this extraordinarily simple concept, not only the modes of occidental music - major and minor - can be determined but also seventh chord substitutions, other kinds of chord substitutions as well as inversions of perfect major chords. The Harmonic System introduced in this book suggests a new theoretical as well as practical approach to this topic, offering an easily comprehensible system that provides straightforward and practical solutions. A valuable cultural exchange at global level promotes cultural growth and development; mutual influences are inevitable. The author feels that jazz - on a world scale - represents popular music at its maximum expression; and for Cuba and artists such as Orlando S nchez himself it does carry very special connotations.
