Errata from the first print run

A short list of things that were wrong in the book's first printing. Publishers assure me a few slip-throughs are normal given the tight turnaround between final draft, proofing, and print — but a few of these still sting.

• My sister-in-law's name is misspelled in the acknowledgments (should be Vicki)
• In the scratching chapter, the turntable orientation diagram has the tonearm pointing the wrong way
• Also in the scratching chapter, the beat-cutting diagram doesn't quite make sense as printed
• The diagram showing a mix in and out of a mini breakdown over a longer one isn't quite right, and reads as confusing
• The second diagram for mixing a melodic outro shows a fade-in where it should be a sudden cut-in
• Timo Maas' name is misspelled as "Timo Mass"
• "Solid Session" should read "Solid Sessions"
• An image intended to show a button-only CD deck is actually a Gemini CD-200 with a jog wheel

All fairly embarrassing on my end. The plan was to redraw the affected diagrams for a later printing — if you've got an early copy with these errors intact, consider it a minor collector's curiosity rather than a flaw.
