Customer Reviews

Pretty good book for a beginner
I'm still pretty new at recording, so this book was pretty good fro me. It's not very thick. I read it in one sitting. I did learn quite a bit, but it's not too in depth like I'd hoped. It comes with a cd that was only somewhat helpful. I did learn a lot, though, but it wouldn't be good if you weren't a beginner like me.
