This book is basically recording 101. I think it actually even advertises it as that. Well…It only covers basics and the basic techniques of compression, expansion, etc. It doesn’t get much more into anything beyond that or advanced. True, if I hadn’t taken Audio Arts I at my college, I would’ve bought it…But I did and I see I already know 90% of the info in it.

I am usually a skeptic of this series but I thought I would give it a try. The chapters are rather informative and give a lot of good insight into the ideas behind making better sounding recordings at home on a limited budget. You might take into consideration other books of this nature because they will tell you the same thing without making you feel like an idiot.

There is a wealth of information in this book, but I’m not so sure it’s for dummies. I have no background with sound equipment, but I don’t consider myself stupid. Having gone through a few chapters, I think that I will benefit from it over a period of time. For now, at least, I’m not planning on buying any other books on this subject. I should point out that I’m only an amateur musician and mainly interested in making backups for small gigs as opposed to making a commercial cd. I have a lot to learn about sound and related equipment and this book has been helpful so far.

I liked the book, lots of good basic information, no hype for one product or another. Also a good reference book. Its also written in a manner that non technical people can understand. It’s well worth the money. It has a simple straightforward format. I would recomend to anyone who is just getting into the recording.
