I must offer a big "Thank You" to Kenneth Spencer for his great book "All About Hauptwerk" - the bow on the wonderful package of Hauptwerk!
Like many, I have benefited from the patience of Brett and his team and from the accumulated knowledge and experience of the members of this forum. It seems, however, that I fit perfectly into that audience that Ken describes in his preface. I'm basically familiar with the workings of a computer, but would rather spend time playing than doing "computer things".
This is in no way to diminish the excellent Hauptwerk Manual and User Guide, but I find having a real book to hand to take to my shop or to read when the opportunity presents itself is a real plus. Also, "Hats Off" to Ken for his research and for presenting in a very lucid manner such topics as MIDI messages, acoustic damping and audio groups (one of the most troublesome aspects for me when setting up my system). He is also full of suggestions for such varied topics as selecting sub-woofers and editing audio files!
On a personal side, when I was contemplating entering the Hauptwerk World, it was Ken's videos that convinced me to take the step and I've been grateful ever since.
Good luck to you, Ken, and thanks for for your efforts!
