===========
Hello readers. If you've been around for a while, you may remember quite a
few years ago back around 2003 that we were running some additional
content here - like code snippets, tips, spotlights on useful indie
sofware, etc. All this was original content for newsletter subscribers
only. I've been meaning for some time to try and bring back such content,
but I haven't really had a lot of reason to. The motive behind stopping
the original content before was lack of participation - I simply wasn't
getting enough worthwhile entries for the various sections.
To address whether this is something that's worth bringing back, I'm
asking you all to email me with what else you would like to get out of
this weekly newsletter, if anything, besides the recap currently presented
below. Next issue, depending on the response I'll post up some of the more
popular requests here and include them in a poll next week as well. Hope
to hear from many of you!

Power Tools: Reason 3
by Kurt Kurasaki
Published November 2005
Average Rating: [unrated]
Well-described and illustrated guide to advanced techniques in audio
manipulation, not for beginners. This book survives the update to Reason
4, just as many of the elements of the software have. Includes a CD of REX
loops and ReFills for your enjoyment.
