For the person like me who is planning on building a small studio, this is the book with the most information.
It covers everything you need to know from the first step to the last.
It also gives you money saving tips on how to build rather than buy.
My best investment yet!

This book really has very little to offer. It’s 1% informative and 99% filler with apparent experienced recording professionals sharing stories that lead into why they do things a certain way. Most of the stuff is simple high school logic applied to a recording studio environment which I had already done prior to reading any home recording type books. I thought recording for dummies had very little to offer but this book definitely offered nothing. The ironic thing about this book, compared to others by recording professionals who’s ego’s need to intellectualize what they do in order to make it seem as if it’s actually some type of science, is that it is actually straight forward in what it’s telling you which is why I gave it two stars. If other books were this way, but more in depth and precise concerning the recording process and leave out the personal experience anecdotes and the need to give new names to previously straight forward ones, it would sell a million easy.

This book was a great help to me when I was thinking about starting a recording studio in my home. I wasn’t sure quite where to start, but this book has in-depth articles that were written specifically for people in my situation. It contains everything from setup and conditioning to gear and monitors to mixing a final cut. It was a great book that was easy to understand, but not “dumbed down” in the way it conveyed the ideas. This book is a must have for anyone who is looking to start a home recording studio.
