This book contains priceless advice for recording musicians.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sound Advice: The Musician's Guide to the Record Industry (Hardcover)
With the music recording industry changing as fast as it is, one might not be inclined to turn to a reference that is now seven years old. Don't be turned off by its age: this book is as relevant to digital audio recording techniques as it is to the tape-based sytems it describes.Inside, novices and experienced musicians will find a well-organized overview of the recording studio, the equipment used in recording and mixdown, and the techniques used by great sound engineers. Issues such as how and when to use destructive sound processing are covered in depth. Many not-so-obvious techniques are included that will help the reader develop a creative approach to recording. All this is presented in simple terms that don't require an engineering degree. Highly recommended for the home studio owner and for commercial studio clients. Marc Hoffman, Seattle, Washington, USA

The business side of music.,
By Musicman (Iowa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sound Advice: The Musician's Guide to the Record Industry (Hardcover)
First off this book has nothing to with recording music or mixing music or getting the best mix, a reviewer of this book said it was about that. This is misleading and I hope people don't believe his review. Like a sucker I did. But in a way I'm glad I bought the book. This is about the business side of music which a musician needs to understand. Look how many musicians have been taken advantage of in the past you know not paid, lied to, left with a $3000 debt on the bands PA system. This book deals with cash flow in the record and music publishing industries where a musicians prime source of income, writers royalties, publishing royalties,live performance in clubs. Here is a great example before 1977 if a bar owner hired a band and then refused to pay them there was no law to provide punishment to the infringer. I've heard stories of Jimi Hendrix not getting paid. However the laws revised. Now the performing rights to society were given the power to get an court injunction to stop infringers from using music at all. Most venues would lose their clientele without some music. Its now easy to collect payments from these reluctant clients. But there is alot more. How about partnerhip agreements. Anybody in a band is in partnership and must know the pitfalls. Great book on the business side of music. Although I know I will never get a recording contract, and alot this I don't need to know unless I plan on signing to a recording contract. Fascinating reading.

Excellent,
This review is from: Sound Advice: The Musician's Guide to the Record Industry (Hardcover)
This is a title that you must not miss if you are interesting in starting a career in the music industry. People have been trying for years to "crack the code" of the music industry and find out just how it's working. This book gets pretty close to revealing the entire picture, but another book has all the details in living color and explained easily, and that us Ty Cohen's "How To Make A Fortune In The Music Industry By Doing It Yourself: Your Personal Step-By-Step Guide To Having A Successful Career In The Music Business. ... To Sell Music, Book Shows And Get Noticed!" , a book that will paint the most complete picture of the music industry you'll ever see.
