Review
"Everybody reading a book like this will start from a different base of knowledge and experience. Having said that, there's always somthing new to learn or have clarified...there is some extremely effective use of a generous supply of illustrations in this book. - mightywight.net I would also recommend it highly to anyone getting into recording at the home or project-studio level as it will give you a really good grounding in the theory and industry practice which underpins the design of all that equipment and software you spend so much money on! - mightywight.net Praise for the previous edition: No worries when this handy reference is nearby. It covers the basics about everything, from room acoustics to running a session. If you're a beginner, grab it now. If you think you know it all, you might still learn a thing or two. - Keyboard, January 2001

Format:Paperback
This is not so much an actual manual as to how to acheive certain results, more an interesting read of a wide range of topics, ranging from Acoustics and perception of sound to Studio layout and mic-ing techniques. I borrowed this book from my University Library, and decided to buy at as a result. I have found it invaluable as a reference guide for gaining a general understanding of various techniques. I would reccomend it to people who perhaps have a general idea of the subject, and who are looking for something to introduce some of the technical aspects of Sound Recording. However, if you are looking for detailed explanations of anything in particular then this book is probably not the best solution. However, I am very happy with my purchase and often find my self reading it for my own interest rather than as a technical reference.
Excellent introduction and reference, but not one for the more experienced professionals.

As someone relatively knew to home recording, i got hold of this book and it is a really friendly and interesting read, on all aspect of recording, and the overall concepts.
I coupled it with Home recording for Musicians for Dummies, which has more of the specific information you might be looking for (eq for different instruments, compression settings, etc) and the 2 together have brought my understanding and enjoyment of home recording on in leaps and bounds.
Thoroughly recommended. Great support website too!

This is probably one of the only books that I can recommend to those who are interested in learning about audio engineering, from beginners to experienced studio engineers.
It has everything from the basics, right up to the more advanced topics. Combined with Bob Katz "mastering" book, you will have the perfect learning and reference books for university / college use AND general home reading.
