Book Reviews of Home Recording for Musicians for Dummies
Book Review: A MUST READ for anyone trying to understand Sound Board mixing and recording
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased a Zoom HD16 Digital Recorder (which is a mixer and a drum machine and CD recorder all in one) and looked at the "easy to read" manual that came with it and said "WHAT?" The manual uses terminology that only a sound man could understand and skips explaining the terms. This book explains these terms and what exactly you need to do to get a great sound out of your recordings. I play guitar, run a chorus, a teen praise band, and sing for children professionally-- and I wanted to record the songs I had written and the choir and the band. I regularly use a 20 channel mixer but I did not really understand what the capabilities of the mixer were. I didn't see a need to use the PAN dials or other features --this book tells you why you should. It explains wiring, microphones, plugs, Computer recording programs, effects, MIDI, editing, copying, bouncing, and all the stuff needed to get you ready to record at home--and More! And even if you do not record your music but use a mixer --you should read this book. It explains sound in an easy-to-understand way for us "Dummies".
