Itz not really into details but at least you will basically understand all kinds of music gears and how it functions. Itz a super good book for entry to medium level of music lovers or producers or who wanna step into the recording field!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great place to Start, October 10, 2005

By	Nikki Heyward (W. Palm Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read tons of recording books and most are either out-of-date or don't pretain to the set-up I have. This book is a great place to start for those who are just starting out and need a little direction. Since the recording field is so diverse you need a guide...and this is it!!!
