 I'd like to add... Jun 25, 2008
I'd like to add this comment to the other reviews. Reading this book gave me a much better insight into all the things a good producer does. The last section is a round-table discussion that includes what to look for in a producer, and some ways to quickly decide if it's the right person for you. If you're considering using a producer to help your recording project, this can help you find the right fit, and/or avoid an expensive and frustrating mistake. If you're the DIY sort, the book lets you know what you have to do to produce yourself, and why it pulls you away from being the artist. If you're a would-be producer, it lets you know what standards an experienced client will expect you to meet.
 Great minds that influenced the world of recording. Jun 04, 2008
This is a great book for hearing the people that have brought you the music that moves you. The timeless stuff. Talk about the creative process but also the business of music. Which is truly the bridge between creativity and commerce. A great read for those thinking about a career in the music business at the creative level. But also for tjhose who just love music and wan to know a little more about the technical creative side.

Great resource for wanna be Producers & Engineers Mar 09, 2007
This book is a collection of interviews by some of the best engineers and producers in the business. The content within the interviews reflect the personality of the person being interviewed, which makes for a great balance between those that love techspeak and those that need to understand the soft skills involved in capturing killer performances by artists. Topics covered include the differences between US based engineers and producers vs. their UK counterparts (the latter prefers to print effects to tape directly if things are working.) Another set of questions the interviewer regularly asks are related to project/home studios and the comparisons between the those environments vs high end studios. The responses are candid and enlightening.
If I could sum up best info in the book is that ALL of the interviewees restate the same thing- there are tons of variables but critical to great recording results falls mostly to good mics and the use of dedicated mic pre amps.
Other takeaways:
- Rooms obviously color the flavor of the recording
- Mic placement varies as much as the choices of mics
- Digital vs. analog debate still continues, but good recordings fundamentally result from choosing technologies that you believe are the magic sauce to laying good tracks and understanding their weaknesses to compensate accordingly
- Capturing a great performance is far more important than technically perfect recordings
This is another book that provides more fuel for your gas tank!

Get This Book Apr 11, 2006
If you're interested in recording, if you have a project studio or have hopes of producing a music cd, you must get this book. It was more like talking with and getting great advice from over thirty producers, than reading a book. I couldn't put it down.

pure genius Jan 30, 2006
I highly recommend that anyone in the music business read this book-- wether or not you are interested in making hits. it's full of really useful information, basically there is no one approach-- everyone has hits on their own terms.
all extremely talented and intelligent people are interviewed.
recommended for home-recordists especially.
