I think the authors intentions were good but this book left much to be desired. The audio clips were somewhat helpful but most of clips were of the same song/vocalist over and over again. Showing contrast as changes were made to the vocal track, but really only scratching the surface of what can be a very important and multilayered process. His examples are clear but it would really be great if he could follow up this book with another with 4 times more info. I would pay more $ for a better book from this guy because I think he really does know what he is talking about. But this book was disappointing. Sorry :<

this isn't a bad book for the "extreme" novice. pretty basic book. at least the reader gets a CD for the examples so you actually hear something. not recommended other wise.

Why? Myself I don't expect to get the full contents of a large portion of a 4 year college degree in a $15 book. Some people seem to want everything and might need a truck to carry the book after it's printed. It gives the basics and as a home studio indie musician really more than I need and more than I can afford to manage. Chances are if I need to produce the kind of quality that would be achieved by placing mics all over the show and picking up different frequencies in different parts of a room and blocking stuff out - I should be hiring an expert anyway :) This book taught me a few useful things I didn't know about rooms, reverb and how and where to place microphones.

People, this is very good, audi samples everywhere !!!
But is not all, I really like books that teach you something, this is one of this books. Clean and clear. You will not find math formulas, of audio tansmition laws. This is a hands on book, but you can tell that the writer knows all this formulas ans laws.
EXCELENT JUST EXCELENT !!!!!

This is a very usefull maual for those who wants to get started.
