Rick Snomans "dance music manual" book sucks.
Its not very indepth at all. its an introduction in2 most of the production process, no music theory, no synth theory, just some mixing.
Ur much better of with david gibsons visual guide to mixing.
Im also very impressed with a music theory book I bought called
Melody in Songwriting: Tools and Techniques for Writing Hit Songs (Berklee Guide)
Its really outstanding

I think the Snoman book is a good starter, because it introduces most subjects that you need to be aware of from a dance music producing perspective, instead of a rock or jazz recording perspective, which is used in other books. Just try to find out how a dance track is typically made with the other books and you'll see the value of The Dance Music Manual. Most books only fill in a few gaps in your knowledge, because they largely cover the same material as all the other books. It's the things that are not discussed in other books that makes them worthwile.
Curious about this melody in songwriting book you mentioned tho, sounds promising.

snomans book is a good introduction. il give it that.
But i felt very unsatisfied after reading it and not being able 2 make anything really useful.it does give an introduction to a wide range of things but it doesnt show u anything REALLY useful.
I also think the mixing engineers handbook sucks. in comparison to david gobsons visual art of mixing.
The handbook basically introduces u to all these "mixing engineers" who havent done any high school english and think articulation and explanation is secondary to coolness.
the book itself is a collage of bad teachers. maybe good producers but bad teachers.It also teaches by saying specifics of implementation instead of underlying concepts.like cut at this frequency. not Y to cut.
Gibsons book is written by a teacher in such an intuitive way it made my head spin. really, Ive read this book on the internet and then I bought it, its that good. I almost NEVER do that.

Snoman should not call it the "Dance music MANUAL" so much as the "dance music introduction" |
