Product Description
Product Description
Make your small home studio sound huge! Guerrilla Home Recording is a revolutionary approach to getting great sound in a home or project studio. Author Karl Coryat breaks down the process by showing how to think in terms of three simple "dimensions of sound," and then explains step by step how this can help you achieve amazingly clean recordings with maximum impact. Best of all, you don't need the latest pro gear to do it. You'll learn: how to make even the noisiest gear dead quiet * getting instruments to sound crisp and distinct in a mix * making drum programs and sequences sound like they were played live * getting the most out of a limited number of tracks or mixer channels * blending tracks together into a professional-sounding mix * fun projects and exercises to sharpen your ear for sound * and how to avoid the most common mistakes amateur recordists make.

After 10 years of trying to get my head around Compression, Frequency Slots and Gate Reverb etc.. this book made it all clear in a matter of days. The writer doesn't do the usual "I'm clever and know loads of fancy techno-babble" thing, in fact he often pours distain on those kind of show-offs and poseurs.
Having just applied his techniques to some of my old recordings, I was amazed at the difference.
An excellent gift for someone if you don't need it yourself.
