Having said that; its a pretty good book.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very EducationalBy Robert WilmesherrThis book is incredibly in-depth; easy to read; and full of great DIY experiments to further explain and experience the concepts. This book will lay the groundwork and build a solid core understanding of the theory and practice of recording audio. It will make the process of learning and trying out the recording process so much easier. Just dont forget to get out there and start using this information.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Best Option for RecordingBy Jremy22Great text for anyone looking to improve their recording techniques. I bought for a college course and all my audio and media professors have stated that they have been using this text for years. They even had the previous editions to prove it.Very clear and in depth.
