| These guys really know how to explain the art of making a great recording to the beginner. I especially like chapter 16 "Mixdown Techniques" as it really explains the basic steps of eq, delay and panning for positioning the parts of a song in the mix! I have 15 books on this subject and this one is the one that has given me the most ahaa!'s. |
Very helpful information!

| A quality tech book with settings to try for your home recording. Hey, settings that work. Most writers in this arena are afraid or just don't write their personal preferences. This book gives you tons of preferences for recording the bass, guitar, drums, vocals, etc... A quality read! |
wonderful resource for novice and intermediate recordists

| This book is nearly perfect. Yeah, it's a little dated, but so is my equipment, so it makes a great source of info for me. I've been in bands and around bands and managed bands for just about my whole life and have read lots of books relating to music technology, and I must say that this book offers the most insight to practical problems that I've ever encountered. I recently bought a used TASCAM 688 Midistudio and, even though I'm a former electrical engineer, this complex piece of equipment is a little daunting to me. This book explained how to use it and much more. Things I thought I knew were clarified. Things I didn't know were explained. Things I never even thought of were brought to my attention. I borrowed (ok, swiped) this book from a friend last week and now must return it. That's why I'm at Amazon now, to buy my own copy. I'm also getting a copy of 'Using Your Portable Studio' by the same author. If you've got a home studio, especially one with a multitrack tape deck, you've gotta read this book. Even if you're recording digitally, the discussions of EQ'ing instruments, miking, acoustics, and procedures would make it worth your while. I can't recommend it highly enough. |
Great! Quite thorough and simple.

| I really enjoyed the book. It enabled me to build upon my knowledge of music engineering. The only problem is that I sent off for the tapes that go along with the books and my money order was returned saying that the address was closed with no forwarding address. If anyone has any info. to help me obtain these tapes pleas e-mail. |
