This highly successful book is now in its third edition. It has been much expanded to include new chapters on studio equipment, computers in the studio, digital and hard disk recording, and mastering and monitoring.

Anyone setting up a project studio or a DJ studio, will find this book is the place to start. It takes a highly practical 'nuts and bolts' type of approach to help you produce an efficient and productive studio.

It covers soundproofing Ð keeping the sound in and the noise out Ð acoustics, studio layout, and studio equipment Ð with advice on the kit you are likely to need. There's a chapter on studio furniture, and the practical theme is continued with sections on cabling, wiring looms and even soldering, all highly illustrated.

A section is devoted to the layout and wiring of the patchbay, and the book ends with an invaluable questions and answers section, a glossary of terms and a list of contacts.
