Tony Diana's "Basic Ear Training for the Excalibur" could've both been authored by just one of them. CJC's was published in 2006 and Tony's CD just came out recently. However, they both explain exactly the same elements comprising a signal received by the Excal. CJC defines the incoming signal and shows graphically how the signal might look. "Entering the detection field" from cjc is Tony's "attack". Tony uses "sustain" where cjc calls it "carry over". "Leaving the detection field" from cjc is Tony's "release." There are other things that happen to the signal that both describe only they use different labels for those events.
The point is...if you want to read and see what the signal looks like, to get a mental picture of your target, and then want to hear that, getting both of these learning tools should really give you an advantage over those who don't do their homework. There are people who are primary visual learners and there are those who are primary auditory learners. Most of us use some combination of both. That's why I posted this so if someone else hasn't seen the connection, I thought I'd describe that. Maybe the two authors will get together and offer a combination book with CD. Regards...Jim
