Reader Reviews:
Handbook or guidebook? Just a great book! (5/5 people found this helpful)
As someone relatively knew to home recording, i got hold of this book and it is a really friendly and interesting read, on all aspect of recording, and the overall concepts.
I coupled it with Home recording for Musicians for Dummies, which has more of the specific information you might be looking for (eq for different instruments, compression settings, etc) and the 2 together have brought my understanding and enjoyment of home recording on in leaps and bounds.
Thoroughly recommended. Great support website too!
Good Overview and Introduction (55/55 people found this helpful)
This is not so much an actual manual as to how to acheive certain results, more an interesting read of a wide range of topics, ranging from Acoustics and perception of sound to Studio layout and mic-ing techniques. I borrowed this book from my University Library, and decided to buy at as a result. I have found it invaluable as a reference guide for gaining a general understanding of various techniques. I would reccomend it to people who perhaps have a general idea of the subject, and who are looking for something to introduce some of the technical aspects of Sound Recording. However, if you are looking for detailed explanations of anything in particular then this book is probably not the best solution. However, I am very happy with my purchase and often find my self reading it for my own interest rather than as a technical reference.
Excellent introduction and reference, but not one for the more experienced professionals.
