Reviews

[Patrick Burnett]

Great book for those of us not as concerned or already knowledgable with computer/DAW style recording but wanting to better understand the older analog studio equipment and recording methods. For me, I was trained in an analog studio in the early 90s and this book is a great refresher course.

I'm probably showing my age, and this book is too dated by today's standards to be of much use in the digital pro tools world, but for the time it really helped!
For that reason alone, it gets a high rating from me!

[Allen]

This book is a little outdated in that there is not much information on digital recording & computers, but there is still a wealth of good information in here regarding ways to record different instruments and microphone techniques.

[Charlie Mcallister]

this book is still quite useful for home recording, despite the fact that most of the equipment listed is not practical at all for a home studio in 2007. plus it has peter gabriel on the front. how can you go wrong?
