4.0 out of 5 stars
Very nice introduction,
By Arthem "arthem" (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Desktop Digital Studio (Sound on Sound) (Paperback)
This is a very nice compendium of information in a field that can be intimidating to the novice. I was not completely unfamiliar with recording in general, having recorded once (long ago) in a local studio and having owned a chinsy four-track. However, a trip into the recording section of Guitar Center was overwhelming, and browsing around Digidesign & Opcode's websites for basic information was like trying to learn addition from a differential equations text.Paul White's book provided a nice range of tutorial information, as well as a general overview of the development of digital recording, up to the state-of-the-art. I found the digression on Mac vs. PC to be amusing. In any case, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to back up and understand digital recording from first principles.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Just not good enough,
By PD (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Desktop Digital Studio (Sound on Sound) (Paperback)
I bought this book because of Paul White's reputation as an expert in the field of music production & Recording and his regular highly praised contributions to UK-based pro music magazine: Sound On Sound. As a beginner, but with a growing interest in music technology, I found myself scouring the internet for explanations of things such as: what is a channel strip, aux send, aux return, TS/TRS jack, balanced vs. unbalanced cabling, what does overdubbing mean, what is a sub-mix, because these basics things were either omitted or poorly covered in this book. The chapters on the sampling theory, and zero latency monitoring end up being just plain confusing. The midi chapter is good. If you want a balanced well written comprehensive beginner book I recommend you get a copy of the Home Recording for Dummies book, its sooooooooo much better than this.
