This book, by the author of industry bestseller "Modern Recording Techniques", focuses on microphone usage for dozens of different instruments as well as vocals, amplifiers, Leslie cabinets and much more! Accompanied by an audio CD that allows you to hear the different effects of microphone placement techniques in real time for a full understanding of how to get the best recordings from any type of microphone!
All in all, I would recommend this book to anyone who may be newer to the industry. Even if you have been in the industry for a while, you may feel as if you get stuck in a rut by making the same sound over and over again. This book will also help you. It covers the basics and facts in most sections, but gives many great tips and no fluff in the microphone placement section. If you want an easy, yet very informative read about the world of microphones, then this is the book for you.
