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!

Totally awesome step by step

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.

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.

wonderful resource for novice and intermediate recordists

this book is terrific. it is full of eq charts and sage advice on everything from drum micing to acoustic treatments. this book is by far the most turned to resource in my audio library. a must have.
