However, I've used this book as a go-to time and time again for either things about which I was never quite clear or little details I may not have acquired about the tracking process. This book is very clearly written and easy to understand, yet possesses a wealth of detailed information about mic techniques and other important data crucial to the tracking session. I would recommend this book to ANYONE. A beginner who is considering pursuit of an audio engineering degree or certificate will definitely be one step ahead having read this book. The price also is very reasonable. <br /> <br />A great companion to this book is The Mixing Engineer's Handbook by the same author, Bobby Owsinski.

Other than some decent information on good equipment, it really didn't have a lot of value. Rating: 2 / 5 The book was ok, but not too enlightening.

Pretty basic stuff. If you have a great sounding studio, you use it. If you don't, maybe you should find one. Rating: 3 / 5 “Same thing as everyone else you interviewed”.
