The first- and maybe best- home recording guide Oct 15, 1998 By Michael J Edelman
It's a bit dated now, but Anderton's book is still a valuable reference and tutorial for the would-be home recoder- a description that probably includes nearly every musician today. The book is a bit short on the latest in computerized system, digital recording and MIDI, but it's solid on the fundamentals of microphone use, acoustics and mixing. A must-have.

tech-types beware Feb 02, 2000 By Keith Maksimik
Although I found this book quite well written I can't say that it provided any information to me that I didn't already have. I do have a degree in electronics and have spent a considerable number of years working with home studio equipment but I still felt that Craig's book could have put more detail into each of the chapters. The book is more of a basic tutorial designed for those new to recording who need a jumpstart down the path to audio competence. At this task it is very successful.

very accessible and informative Jul 23, 1998 By deebee@cableinet.co.uk
What surprised me the most about this book is its level of detail when analysed even though upon reading it sounds balanced and very accessible. Anderton tackles some of the more complex techniques with ease an this is indicated by the way the novice and advanced reader can easily immerse themselves without feeling bemused. It is structured in modules with a concise contents listing so the reader can easily use it as a good read or as a reference title to help problems at a glance. I felt the index could be more comprehensive and perhaps a glossary would prove helpful but these are minor issues but at this price (Amazon's!!) nothing comes close so far. If this is the standard to expect I might get some more American books (I'm British you see). If a new revision in hardback or ring-bound came along, especially if it covered more digital and hard disk recording techniques, I would be the first in line. I was an audio amateur until I read this.

Not recommened for recording enthusiast Dec 02, 2009 By Harmony and Melody "HM"
Like all of Anderton's books, this one has lots of technical details and nice diagrams, but does not get into what one needs to make better sounds. It is written from a very left-brain perspective, and leaves one with the feeling that music is to be programmed like a computer instead of played to provoke emotion.

Is it worthless? If your goal is to make sweet recordings, I would have to say yes. If you are into home recording, or if you are looking to develop your skills, you could probably find better information in one of those magazines with a glossy cover.

This book for the most part useless Dec 21, 2009 By Stephen A. Porter "swampmouse"
I purchased this book hoping to get some help setting up and making music in my little project studio. I have a Cubase SX setup, and wanted to lat down some tracks of some original tunes I have written. The book has an array of technical details, none of which help a beginner (or experienced person) for that matter set up a studio and make good recordings. If you want to learn ohm's law, and other electronic nomenclature, this book might be of use although a good electronics dictionary would be your best bet. For learning the basics of home recording, there are much better books and info out there. Pass this one by.
