Product Description

Product Description

"Behind the Glass, Volume II" presents another prime collection of firsthand interviews with the world's top record producers and engineers, sharing their creative secrets and hit-making techniques - from the practical to the artistic. In these pages you'll find Daniel Lanois ("U2", Bob Dylan) discussing the future of digital recording; T-Bone Burnett (Robert Plant and Alison Krauss) sharing his unique view of creating complex low end; and Hugh Padgham ("Police", "Genesis") analyzing the state of the business today. For real-world advice on everything from home recording to mixing to coaching a nervous singer, check out author Howard Massey's conversations with Mark Ronson ("Amy Winehouse"), Tony Brown ("Reba McEntire"), Gus Dudgeon ("Elton John"), John Simon ("The Band"), Russ Titelman ("Steve Winwood"), Bruce Swedien (Michael Jackson), Rodney Jerkins (Mary J. Blige), Simon Climie (Eric Clapton), Matt Serletic ("Matchbox Twenty"), and more.

Format:Paperback
This is a very good book! Very fast reading but also has some great insights and its also very enjoyable for someone interested in audio and music production. I would say this book is essential for anyone interested in studying / learning about music production since it gives insights from the masters. It manages to give some great insights, tips, tricks, and also de-mystifies a number of concepts. Its also fun to notice general trends on certain concepts as well as divergences in ipinions and working methods used which are discussed in these interviews. You dont really need to have a deep knowledge about music production to enjoy readig this book although it is even more enjoyable to be able to relate better to some of the terms, methods, techniques, etc mentioned in the book. Anyone can and should benefit from this book, both beginners as well as more technical people.

A good read 24 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
Similar in style to Vol 1, but much more up-to-date (not too many references to ADAT and the similar stuff that is now more-or-less defunct). It's a bit lacking in the detail that us part-time recording enthusiasts would like, but still a good read and might stimulate a few recording ideas.
