Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is just what the doctor ordered when you need to get up to speed quickly. The appendix on transferring projects between applications alone will make me buy this book!"
John Leckie, Producer (Radiohead, Simple Minds, Baaba Maal, Dr John)
"Three months ago I made some major changes in my home studio set-up, involving some serious shopping preceded by weeks of head-scratching and chin-stroking. If only this book had been available then, it would have saved me hundreds of phone calls and loads of angst and definitely resulted in a more informed choice!
Chris 'Snake' Davis, Sax & Flute Player (Snake Davis Band, M-People)
"Mike's style is, as always, readable and humorous. The book is full of tips and advice which keep suggesting new possibilities.
Dario Marianelli, Film Composer (In This World, I Capture The Castle, The Warrior, Cheeky, Pandaemonium)
"If you need to know what is going on with music software and want to see what the competition is doing without spending a fortune in time and money, then this book is for you. Mike lives and breathes this stuff and has managed to distil his vast knowledge into a book which informs, entertains and truly helps."
Alex Boyesen, AV Production Manager, Digital Broadcast, Capital Radio -- Review
Review
"More than a simple list of features, this title provides an in-depth look at dozens of popular software selections ranging from Digidesign Pro Tools and Emagic Logic to Sony Sound Forge and BIAS Peak. If you need to get up to speed on a new application in a hurry, this book is a must read."

"a great 512-page read and I recommend it highly for anyone interested in getting to know any of these programs first before investing the necessary money and time it takes to get musically productive with them." - www.barryrudolph.com
"Professional studio engineers are now expected to know all of the popular audio and MIDI software packages. This book is the ideal reference to turn to in times of need in the studio. The first couple of chapters provide a superb overview of the way this crazy world of recording software came about. The rest of the book covers a wealth of information about the range of applications that you are likely to come across in the studio. This is just what the doctor ordered when you need to get up to speed quickly. The appendix on transferring projects between applications alone will make me buy this book!"

If only this book had been available then, it would have saved me hundreds of phone calls and loads of angst and definitely resulted in a more informed choice!
"Mike Collins has produced another fine volume. Comprehensive, thoroughly researched and well written, it will be invaluable not only to those just starting out in music recording and those considering a change or an up-grade, but to anyone wishing to be more familiar with what's out there! Mac v. PC, Cubase v. Logic, ditch the tape, keep the tape...? This book will help. Dead useful!"
Chris 'Snake' Davis, Sax & Flute Player (Snake Davis Band, M-People)
"Mike's style is, as always, readable and humorous, and the book is full of tips and advice which keep suggesting new possibilities. I think this book could be extremely useful to the professional composer who is easily bewildered by endless choices. It could help with making more informed decisions in equipping and upgrading one's studio."
Dario Marianelli, Film Composer (In This World, I Capture The Castle, The Warrior, Cheeky, Pandaemonium)

Mike lives and breathes this stuff and has managed to distil his vast knowledge into a book which informs, entertains and truly helps. I learnt a lot when reviewing this book and I wasn't even trying. Mike Collins must be one of the most committed and able writers in his field."
Alex Boyesen, AV Production Manager, Digital Broadcast, Capital Radio
"If you want to get up to speed fast with Pro Tools and Cubase, this book is an invaluable reference."
