Hot Tips for the Home Recording Studio

Reviews the principles of sound recording and provides technical information about equipment and terminology

Always wanted to have a home recording studio? Here's your book. Whether you intend to lay down some boss tracks or have more mundane goals, Linderman seems to cover every imaginable question, problem, or option you'll run into while setting up and using a home studio. He worthily mixes in background explanations with the advanced electronics and recording jargon, as, for instance, when he tells what exactly the difference between digital and analog recording is (many audiophiles probably should have read this explanation before committing so strenuously to digital--but that cultural-technological ship has sailed), and he keeps the techno-bombast to acceptable levels for a book concerned with fairly technical endeavors. Libraries may find his book useful to such corporate patrons as church and school groups and businesses considering in-house recording as well as to houserockin' individuals and aspiring rock stars.
