Really great book! Very hands--on

This is a great book. It tells you in brief, concise language how to achieve quality recording for all sorts of instruments and situations. It also explains various effects as well as digital recording techniques. I use it frequently when doing home recording.My only beef (which is why it isn't getting 5 stars) is in the layout. There are clearly sections and subsections within each chapter, but they are not called out. A subsection heading is in the same font and size as a section heading. This is a HUGE nitpick, I grant, and do not let it deter you from buying this book!

Concise, No-nonsense Guide for Home-Recording Engineers!

I recently purchased a "Small Home Studio" so that I could create my own Ambient, Electronic music CD's. However, I have very little actual experience in recording. The learning curve can be more than a little steep. There is so much to consider when attempting to put together a quality recording. It's almost impossible to remember all the details at recording time! However, Paul White has put together an excellent, handy resource explaining all the myriad technical aspects of the recording process in the Modern Recording Studio...In Plain English!
