Just OK - 2009-05-15
Reviewer Rating:
The book was ok, but not too enlightening. Other than some decent information on good equipment, it really didn't have a lot of value.

Good Reference - 2009-05-07

This is a good book. I like the sections on classic mics and interviews with engineers, but, for me, the real gem here is the section on mic techniques for different instruments and situations. Excellent!

The book is a little too big to take to a gig, but having it around for general reference is great.

Pretty good text, informative.. - 2009-05-04
Reviewer Rating:
This book was the text for my school's "studio production" course, and I've enjoyed reading it. There are a butt ton of typos and proofing errors, it almost seems like it was never edited. Despite that fact, the text covers a lot of areas of recording engineering fairly briefly and is great reference for beginning engineers. The section on microphone placement and techniques for individual instruments has been especially useful. Additionally, there are a number of interesting quotes from top engineers in the industry, another great feature.

Practical and Straight-forward Recording advise. - 2009-01-12
Reviewer Rating:
This volume is aimed at the recording side--capturing great sounds and where to look for them. The sections on mic placement are right on--his advise matches my own experiences and I am looking forward to my next session to try out some of his ideas. Great book. Only one of it's kind I'd recommend. Much better than Modern Recording Techniques.
