If you plan a career in the recording industry you must read

I bought my first copy of John Borwick's Sound Recording Practise nearly twenty years ago when I started work as a trainee sound engineer at Radio Tees. Since then it has grown and is now in its fourth edition. It covers everything from microphones to the loudspeakers. All recording formats are covered; DAT, CD, CD-R, Minidisc, etc.Now as a mature sound engineer with twenty years experience under my belt I still have a copy on my bookshelf for reference.
