Very nice introduction

This is a very nice compendium of information in a field that can be intimidating to the novice. I was not completely unfamiliar with recording in general, having recorded once (long ago) in a local studio and having owned a chinsy four-track. However, a trip into the recording section of Guitar Center was overwhelming, and browsing around Digidesign & Opcode's websites for basic information was like trying to learn addition from a differential equations text.Paul White's book provided a nice range of tutorial information, as well as a general overview of the development of digital recording, up to the state-of-the-art. I found the digression on Mac vs. PC to be amusing. In any case, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to back up and understand digital recording from first principles.
