5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST! for anyone doing home recording. 18 Jun 1999
By lblevins@netva.com - Published on Amazon.com
This is the best written, easy to understand book that I've read on audio recording. Bill Gibson has a tallent for writing and teaching, that few have, namely: what you read is written in such a way that you both understand and remember it. I've tested his equipment settings in my studio and they work. The accompaning CD's let you hear exactly what he is telling you. A great must-have book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written, easy to follow, a reference must. 22 Feb 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Wether you are just entering the world of pro audio recording, or are a seasond vet looking for some new ideas, this book is wonderful. Contained within is an up-to-date tour of consoles, effects and mic apps. It also has some very useful charts and graphs that will increase setup time before a session. i.e. delay conversion chart by delay time, quarter,eighth and triplet note settings. This book also comes with two (2) full length audio cd's that give hundreds of examples from eq sweeps to micing a guitar in the bathroom. Take it from a new studio owner (5000 square ft, four rooms) this book is a real treat to read. A must for all music professionals.

2.0 out of 5 stars Much too basic for the price. 2 Mar 2001
By HeWhoReadsALot - Published on Amazon.com
The best part of this book is the 2-cd set which contains a plethora of samples. The samples all describe various scenarios of compression, limiting, microphone strategy, enhancement, you name it. I was impressed with the authors articulation toward a brand new user.

However, I was expecting a "Comprehensive Guide." The book was quite basic and never got past the fundamentals of anything. Common sense topics such as reverb literally go on for pages and pages. For example, it takes 3 pages to explain the punch-in process on a 4-track.

Speaking of punch-in, this document is targeted at people using tape. PC users should investigate another document, there are however 12 pages dedicated to 4-track usage.

I'll warn you, most of the samples are things you could do with your own effects. "Here's a violin with no reverb. Here's the same violin with hall reverb," etc.

What really frustrated us was that there are endless references to sections in Volume I. It interrupts the flow of the book. I feel that the author misled me. I was tricked into buying half a book. I can't return the book because I opened the cd already.

This is a great book if you are new to the concept of recording your music and want to be eased into it.
