Michael Miller

Hi, I'm Michael Miller; welcome to my website. I'm a best-selling and somewhat prolific writer, with more than 100 non-fiction books published over the past two decades. I'm known for my casual, easy-to-read writing style and my ability to explain a wide variety of complex topics to an everyday audience. Collectively, my books have sold more than a million copies worldwide -- not a bad accomplishment.

I'm also an accomplished drummer, composer, and arranger. I've combined my knowledge of music with my writing talents to produce a series of best-selling music instruction books in Alpha's Complete Idiot's Guide series. I've written about all manner of music-related topics, including music theory, composition, arranging, drums and percussion, and the music business in general.

I love my music books, but that's not all I write about. My portfolio includes books about various computer and technology topics, including computer hardware and software, Facebook, and eBay; in addition, I write business books about marketing and other related topics. For what it's worth, I also contribute articles to a variety of websites and publications, and do the odd bit of consulting when it strikes my fancy. I reside in the Twin Cities area, where on any given day you'll find me at a local coffeehouse, tapping the keys on my notebook PC.

New Edition of Cubase 6 Power!

Cubase® 6 Power!: The Comprehensive GuideAlso new is the latest edition of Cubase 6 Power!, a book I've collaborated on for a few years' now. It's a complete guide to Cubase 6, the latest version of the home/pro audio recording software. It helps you learn how to set up your equipment, configure the program, record instruments and vocals, incorporate MIDI tracks, mix your arrangement, and master your final production. It's just $39.99, available at bookstores everywhere.

Electronic books (eBooks) are the latest thing, whether you're reading on a Kindle, a NOOK, an iPad, or on your computer. I've recently had three titles published exclusively in eBook format (meaning they're not available as printed books -- at least not yet): Teach Yourself TweetDeck in 10 Minutes, Using Google Apps, and Using Google Maps and Google Earth. In addition, most of my other books are available in both eBook and printed book formats. Most eBooks are available in all major file formats: MOBI (Kindle), EPUB (NOOK and iPad), and PDF (PC). Look for them all online!
