3 out of 5 stars A very dry read   November 13, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

While the author strives to pass along as much information as possible, it is clear from the beginning that his focus is on specific tools and methods. Nothing wrong with that but, for those seeking a more general treatise on setting up and using a home studio, this book falls short.

There is a great deal of important and useful information in the book however so, if you're of a technical mind this might be precisely the right choice for you. I found it dry and learned nothing I hadn't already gleened from other books and personal experience.



5 out of 5 stars Seasoned or Newbie   May 20, 2007
This book is dead on and very informative, no matter if you've been at for years or just starting out. It's not only a "how to" but a very good "why is that?" type of read. You learn how to do what you need to do with your music and why it is done certain ways. So if you need to sharpen up the skills or pickup some to start with this is a good choice.


5 out of 5 stars Ignore David Moran's comments...   August 10, 2006
 8 out of 11 found this review helpful

Mr. Moran, I don't usually take the time to write reviews but in this case I have to repond to your ridiculous and completely inaccurate comments in your 3-star review. Digital audio is NOT continuous, never has been and positively never will be. It simply is NOT possible to perfectly reproduce a continous analog sound wave with a rapid series of ones and zeros -- which is what digital audio (or digital anything, for that matter) is. With digital you can get close enough to fool the non-discerning listener. 96khz and beyond is an awful lot of samples per second; but no matter how you finely you slice it, they're still discrete samples and are in no way, shape or form continuous.


4 out of 5 stars Very good book   May 31, 2006
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I liked this book, it has tons of useful information. The ilustrations are great also, very comprehensive. I also liked the chapters dedicated to the role of the producer in the different stages of the pre, pro, and post production process. However, the author is a little repetitive in some concepts. Overall, good book, I recommend it.


5 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR THE MODERN MUSICIAN!   January 24, 2006
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I am in college and do a lot of recording for myself, others, and my band using my laptop. Without a professional recording studio to properly record and mix my audio, a book like this really helped me increase the quality of my recordings. With helpful tips on how to mix both audio and midi, as well as a few recording techniques, my recordings have started sounding much more professional. A+!
