Recommended for EVERYONE
I am an experienced, full time sound engineer who was looking for a book to further my knowledge and help with those little tricks and suggestions that improve my mix and the way I work.

Well boy DID I FIND THAT BOOK. It's perfect for anyone who thinks they know everything, because you're sure to find something that you didn't know.

I recently showed this book to a colleage of mine who's toured doing FOH or monitors with Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Stevie Nicks, Phil Collins, the impressive list goes on and on. Anyway... I ended up loaning him the book to head because he was so impresesed by it. He knew that Jim was good, but after a quick glance over the book, he was amazed on how educated the man is.

SERIOUSLY, it's a great book.

Great book!
Great book for any audio engineer, from someone just starting in the business to the seasoned engineer. Good reading for musicians as well. The book is similar in style to Harvey Penicks Little Red Book. Short useful pieces, the kind of book you can pick up and read for 10 minutes, and you will have learned something.Good book to keep on the gig!A nice blend of humour mixed in with the knowledge and experience from the bar band circuit in Canada to touring with Van Halen,Aerosmith and many others.I really enjoyed this book!
