 Good Book for Beginners May 02, 2005
By Nate I.
This book is what "Home Recording for Dummies" should be. It gives a very good overview of the components of a modern amateur recording studio. I would recommend it over anything in the "Idiot's" or "Dummies" series by far. Excellent color pictures and diagrams, well layed-out information, equipment and software recommendations, recording techniques, and price guides are all excellent reasons to buy this book.
The only reason I gave it 4/5 was because the book has a little difficulty tying all the pieces of a home studio together into one package. While the book gave excellent descriptions of the components of a home studio, it didn't tie them together extremely well.
The book deals almost exclusively with computer-based recording, with slight mention to tape-based recording. It's unbiased between Mac and PC, but the software recommendations are dated to 2004/2005. However, most everything else in this book should be good information to have for years to come.

Best of the available batch in 2005 Feb 08, 2005
By Jack D. Herrington
"engineer and author"
I took a look around my local Borders recently. Most of the books were about analog mixing. The most recent coverage was early Pro Tools. This book had the best coverage of recent technology. Plus it was good at explaining the fundamentals in an easy to understand way. Definitely good coverage for home rock and hip-hop recording and mixing. If I could fault it for anything it's that the depth of the exposition is scanty in places. The book could use some more detail in a second version.

 Fantastic Book Jun 23, 2006
By David DeLizza
I recommend this to all levels of musician, teachers, etc. There are great illustrations (well, i suppose there'd have to be), but it's the most up to date out of anything i've seen, and still plenty of "timeless" (to use an overly dramatic, but apt word) info on the actual audio end of things.
GET IT!
top notch for all studios... May 27, 2009
By N. Johnson
This book is great! If you are familiar with what a microphone and computer look like, this book has you covered. The structure of the book and technical explanations are awesome. Jargon busters keep you up on terms that you might not be so sure of their exact meanings. The direction and info for all subjects is clear and understandable. From beginner to pro this book seems to have a lot for everybody. I am setting up my first studio and this book has been indispensable, buy it...
