5amazing insight into the buisness. Covers all the Bases!!!!  Sep 25, 2007 By Brandon Noke "Brandon N."
This book is very well writetn and expresses things other books don't attempt to touch. This book give a great deal of insight into what a producer, engineer and writer does, and how to do it, but it goes above and beyond acting as a guide for how to do these professionally. It dives deep enough into the technical aspect of recording to give you a good idea of the information you would need as a producer or engineer. On the other side, it talks alot of about the buisness of recording and writing. This is what sets the book apart from many others in the category. On top of the information is a great personal tone that Michael puts into the book, you feel the sense that he is in the room telling you these things from his personal experience, which makes all the information easier to capture. i highly recommend this book.

5An awesome book at an awesome price!  Mar 30, 2007 By Joe N.
What sets this book apart form other production or business books is that every topic contains not only a list of important steps but the authors personal approach to the topic. This, in effect, gives the reader the big picture behind the elements, allowing him or her to adapt the specifics of this book to almost any situation.


5Great book!  Mar 02, 2008 By Scottie 2 Hottie
This book is great, its an easy read and yet you walk away feeling well-educated upon reading it. Mr. Farquharson doesn't try to sugarcoat anything and tell you its going to be easy, or that if you wait long enough somebody is going to spark your career for you. He offers concrete, accomplish today-type objectives to help the reader get themselves headed in the right direction. I have found the book to be quite inspirational and helpful. I highly recommend it to anybody interested in getting involved in music production.


5very useful!!!  Feb 14, 2007 By LBWheels457
This book was such a wonderful resource for me! I have been thinking about wanting to get into writing music for commercials, but really didn't know what it all entailed. This book had so many answers for me as well as ideas that will be helpful to me! This is such a great book for anyone who wants to get into this business!
