Reid, you're welcome to email the typos but we weren't the ones to proof this book. Was proofed by a company hired by CMP. And the book is already printed....so it's not likely to change.

I HAVE compiled a list of the errors I've found, and will post them to the errata site next week. Still have 2 chapters to vet.
Originally, I wasn't scheduled to do the entire VASST-Vegas tour we did, but circumstances left me no choice. As a result, we allowed the publisher to hire an outside proofing person who is a Vegas user.
Bad move on my part. I probably should have left the VASST tour and proofed the book. :-|

So it's Amazon that has them? I canceled my Walmart order.

At this time this book is everywhere.

Amazon proper has it as do independent retailers who chose to sell from within Amazon.

Your local bookstore may even have it.

Yeah mine has shipped and is on it's way from Amazon - along with season 5 of Stargate SG1 ;)

I wonder if it's a CMP thing with the spelling mistakes? The 3 CMP books I have, John Jackman's lighting book, and Jay Rose's audio ones have quite a few mistakes in them.

It's a shame cause you buy a pro book and expect the spelling to be right and words not to be doubled up "the the" or left out. No slant on the authors (Unless they did the proofing ;) ), the proofers should pick these things up. Nevertheless the books I have are very excellent so it's only a minor thing!

i've always wondered... is this douglas spotted eagle the same as the musician?

anyway regarding the book, where should i buy it to optimally benefit DSG? i typically shop@amazon for books. does the DVD automatically come with the book? what's the diff between DSG's Vegas5 book and instant Vegas5?

Yes, I'm the same guy.
Buying from Walmart, Amazon, or any other store is of the same benefit to me...
:-) Thanks for the thought, but we'll need to sell thousands of books before I start seeing much from it. It's more a labor of love than $$. That's what the music is for.

thx for the "labour of love" we love you back man (in a manly way)!!!

on a curious note (sorry if it's been a repost) how'dya get from musician to vegas-guru?

I've recorded most of my later works in one version of Vegas or another. I was also brought in by Sonic Foundry as a video consultant and tradeshow pony during the development of Vegas.
Film contributions like Last Samurai, Hidalgo, Blackhawk down, etc, were all created in Vegas.
Same with some of my older works like ConAir, Last of the Mohicans, etc. (Vegas Pro, not Vegas as we know it today)
Lotsa Vegas stuff in my past. I don't know if that made me a guru or not, but I love the app.
