With so many horribly written books on the market, particularly those pertaining to technology, I was absolutely thrilled with Modern Recording Techniques! Even though I’ve had years of experience as both a musician and with technology, I’ve had almost no formal experience with audio recording equipment. This book not only clarifies things that have befuddled my feeble mind for many years (smile), but it also did an incredibly effective job at explaining concepts that are completely new to me. Examples are well chosen and the few downloadable tutorials provided on the author’s web site for this book are, while simple, also very effective. This book will remain as a useful reference for many years to come and I’m very happy that I purchased it.
