Product Description

From the Author
Want to know the secret to great recordings?
Here's a hint: it's not in your latest 24-bit effects processor or whiz-bang
digital recorder.
Instead, great recordings start with the right microphone positioned well.
Sound simple? It is.

In The Home Studio Guide to Microphones, you'll learn how mics work, how they
differ and which mic to use when. Plus, you'll learn how to best record
dozens of popular instruments. Finally, an extensive buyer's guide gives you
specs and application info on over 70 popular mics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to microphones, 18 Mar 1999

By A Customer

Before I read this book, all I knew was which end was the business end of a microphone. The author (thankfully) wrote this book with beginners in mind. It was very well written and it didn't put me to sleep. Considering the subject matter, I consider that quite an accomplishment. He starts with the basic theory of how a microphone works and builds from there. He never left me in the dust with technical jargon. He doesn't preach or insist on his way as THE way to use microphones. Instead, he explains ways to possibly use microphones to achieve the sounds you (the recordist) are trying for. Great beginning book for a curiculum in recording engineering or as a reference when building a home studio. 2 thumbs way, way up!!

5.0 out of 5 stars everything you need to know about recording and mics, 2 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This book gives you everything about mics from how sound works to buying mics for all the best prices. Have mic recording techniques for electric and acoustic guitar, drums, woodwinds, pianos and any other instrument you can think of. Great for people starting out or those who just need some flavoring.
