Review
"Everybody reading a book like this will start from a different base of knowledge and experience. Having said that, there's always somthing new to learn or have clarified...there is some extremely effective use of a generous supply of illustrations in this book." - mightywight.net

Praise for the previous edition:
"No worries when this handy reference is nearby. It covers the basics about everything, from room acoustics to running a session. If you're a beginner, grab it now. If you think you know it all, you might still learn a thing or two." - Keyboard, January 2001

Customer Reviews

Very Thorough
This book provides a thorough breakdown of techniques and procedures commonly used in today's recording environments. I haven't fully investigated the contents of the book, but everything I have come across so far has been very good material. Lots of information in here. Used this book for one of my classes in school.

Good Book
The book made it to my house before the day they said it would make it by. The book was like new with no markings or torn pages.

Maybe if you're just starting out...
This book is way to "shallow"... It skips from one subject to the next without any detailed insight. Way to much blah, and valuable info very limited. Too much "outdated" stuff, very limited modern info!
Maybe an OK source when you're starting out.
