Customer Reviews

Very good info
I am just geting started in home studio recording and I found the information in this book to be VERY valuable. It is so much more than "just put a mic 6"-8" in front of it and hit record". There are very useful starting points in placing mic's and in mic selection but ultimatly it is up to you to experiment and find what sounds good to you and your project.

excellent data for the beginner
Hey, nothing replaces the value of time spent in a professional facility with an experienced engineer, but this book is useful when you've never had the opportunity to mic something like a bagpipe and you need some guidelines to get satisfying results quicker.

Additionally, there are other nuggets like the section on how to kill RF in mic signals... Sure, some of this info is available online but having it all put together in a logically presented title is valuable.

I really don't think the negative reviews are fair. No offence, but if you guys are so adept then what the heck would you need a book for?


Peace

good reference manual
a good mix of old and new school mic placement techniques. not a lot of information for me personally, but a handy reference just to see how somebody else might approach a situation.
