[QUOTE="Phil Graham, post: 43539, member: 430"] Re: What (audio related) ebook do you want written? Loren, 50 pages is wholly insufficient to be a complete primer, and I'm not going to try to attempt that. I'd much rather release a series of <25 page articles on various topics, and let the readership pick and choose the ones they would like to buy. In some ways I see e-publishing as a return to the past era of serialized novels popular in Victorian times. Release enough articles and eventually you've got a full book's content, and at a book's price. The first pamphlet will essentially be "how not to panic" for the beginning live sound person. Church techs I expect will be the largest market. From their I'll dive into technical bits. Buy what you like, skip what doesn't make sense. A guy with a Mackie powered mixer and SOS doesn't need an article on compression, so why write a superficial treatment on topics this person doesn't need. What he/she does need is something to keep him from sweating all service long, and background on how best to store his gear to last. Once he's settled and comfortable, then more advanced topics can cross his radar. [/QUOTE]
