2.0 out of 5 stars 'Limited' information, even for a small book like this, August 19, 2005

By	T. W. Spakman (Laren, Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I always start reading 'tutorial' books by examining the table of contents. This looked promising. But An hour and a half or so later I finished the last page feeling disappointed. Expanders and Gates are mentioned only briefly, while the rest of the book deals with compressors and limiters. What can you tell? Most of the material is repeated 4 times or more. I think this whole book could easiliy be rewritten in 40 pages. As for the CD examples: some are helpfull, but they are most of the time not very convincing.

I have for a couple of months tried get the product Sound Advice on Compressors, Limiters, Expanders, & Gates (Instantpro Series)

As soon as you send med the right book I will be able to review it.
