 A Guide in the true sense of the word Apr 19, 2000
In his book, Burgess manage to chart a safe route through the pitfalls of a career in the recording industry, and I suppose that everyone with a little knowledge about the inner workings of this multi-billion bucks machine knows that this is no easy task. Right from the very beggining, he offers a guided tour to the shortcomings that this rough road presents, offering sensible comments that are often illustrated with real-life examples. Dealing with ego-bloated artists, or taking care of the (often overlooked) legal aspects of the trade or simply getting a great session to tape, this book will simply not leave you without an answer.

Best book on the subject of record production Jul 02, 2000
If record production is the career for you then this is the book you're looking for. This is not one persons subjective view on the art, but rather an intelligent overview of the various styles of record production backed by hundreds of quotes from many of the worlds greatest producers. Richard saves the would-be record producer from tripping over themselves for years by providing a very comprehesive insight into this interesting profession. This is by no means a book on the glamour of the industry, but a practical guide that will leave you knowing whether you've got what it takes or don't think it's for you. Short of handing you a production deal, Richard has given you as much information to get a producer started that can be found between the covers of a book. I would highly recommend this book to anybody considering record production. Kudos to Richard Burgess.

 Very general May 20, 2011
By Nicolas
This book's title is a little misleading. It should be called "what is a music producer?".
It was just a general overview of the job. It's fine for what it is.
You will not learn anything about the art of music production here.

Everything must be done with passion. Which art does not include passion? What can be greater than producing something that makes us have feelings? Music production is an art and it's going to be that way as long as people still enjoy making it so knowing how it is produced can provide useful help for further teaching or a career into this field. This is an amazing book with lots of interesting information all related to music production so if you have a passion and that passion is music buy this book and you won't be sorry!
