4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book,but not a great book!,
By MantleStudio@Hotmail.com (Temple,Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Billboard Guide to Home Recording (Paperback)
I own a copy of this book and I am a bit displeas- ed. It doesn't dwell with using compressors or any effects units. Which is most important,to the home recordist. If there are others out there who own this book,also. I would like to hear from you.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Quite dated,
By Rick H (NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Billboard Guide to Home Recording (Paperback)
While there's some good info contained in this book about the basics of home recording, overall I would not recommend this book as it's copyrighted 1996 and talks a lot about cassette recorders and Portastudio technology of the time.
3.0 out of 5 stars
i guess i expected something else...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Billboard Guide to Home Recording (Paperback)
...i expected the book to also weave into the "mix" the new digital world with many of these expensive machines now so cost-effectively reduced to computer programs-- BUT, it is detailed and all the basic principles and most terms still apply. it just seems so dated to be giving so much attention to what must have been quickly fading technology like 4 track tape machines even in 1996 (print date...). if you want to do it "the old fashioned way" then it seems to be a great book-
