I am beginning to look into learning Master Keying. The Foley Belsaw course was very thin in this particular area, and I have yet to get a client that needs it. So what I am doing this coming year is to pick a few skills that I don't feel 100% comfortable with, and doing the research on it. I have gotten the following recommendations as for books to begin with:
"Master Keying By the Numbers" by Billy Edwards "Manual Of Master Keying - Book 1" by Gerry Finch "Manual Of Master Keying - Book 2" by Gerry Finch
Is there something a little more basic that I should start with? What would be a good order to use these books? Do I need them all or will they overlap? Anyone else have more/other/better suggestions on learning to do MK systems?
I understand there are programs for creating systems, but I don't look at having a tool that does it for me is as important as having the skills and knowledge/understanding of how/why the whole thing works. Especially since I don't currently have a MK client need, I can take the time and just learn how to do it.
