5.0 out of 5 stars Informative May 9 2012

A good quick reference for recording projects. I have been recording music for over 25 years and there is always something to learn. I'm looking forward to my next recording project and I will have this book close at hand. EQ is always a little tricky and so it will be handy having a chart which details which frequency to adjust on individual instruments and the purpose behind the adjustment. Great chapter on understanding microphones and which ones to use for various instruments and also lets you know to use only as many mics as you need for recording. On the drums I use to round up as many mics as I could get my hands on and never really got the sound I was after. I'm going to follow the advice in the book as close as I can next time I record drums. Like most the Dummy books the information is quite concise and to the point.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had this two years ago !! Feb 25 2002
By DJ Papabear
Format:Paperback
My only dislike of this book is that it didn't come sooner for me. I don't consider myself a novice, nor do I think of myself as an expert. I fall somewhere in the middle and think I can still benefit greatly from the topics covered in this book.

Unless you've gone to college as a sound engineer, there is something useful for you in this book !

5.0 out of 5 stars Just buy it Feb 7 2004

For a long time i have been messing around with recording on a 4-track and my pc but getting bad results, but having no idea why, or what i need to do or buy to get some quality recordings. So i bought this book and it has opened up a whole world of home digital recording to me that i never had any way of accessing before. i now feel like i could confidently walk into a shop and buy the things i need and know exactly what im talking about, and know exactly what im looking for. If you want to get into home recording and dont know where to start, just buy this book, its all you need. I cant comment on whether more experienced musical technicians would find it insteresting as well, but im sure it would make a good reference book for them.
