Book Reviews of The Home Studio Guide to Microphones
Book Review: Great book with few anachronisms
Summary: 4 Stars
I love mics and books about them, and this is no exception. New users setting up personal studios have a lot to consider, and the rules that applied to the use of mics in recording studios and tape recording aren't necessarily the same as in the personal studio environment, and computer based recording. A bit of the info on ribbon microphones, which are now competing directly against condenser microphones in most applications, is obsolete, and recants old information (for instance, about fragility, which is no longer a concern) and seems to come from books written in the 50's. Despite this, I recommend this book highly, and admire the Alldrin's clear and concise style. Buy it!
