Reviews

"This book provides a readable and witty introduction to the real world of music recording. Highly recommended." - Music Tech

"Crich has plenty of clear, useful suggestions for recording and mixing." - Electronic Musician

"What an accomplishment... Hands down Tim Crich writes the best manuals in the business."
Simon Andrews, Owner, Right Track Studios

"Crammed with everything you need, and I mean everything. Simple explanations with brilliant illustrations, every conceivable studio tip and trick, a few 'rock star' anecdotes and, as usual, Tim's humor is great."
Bob Schwall, Battery Studios

"Loaded with recording gems, all at a glance. No other book has so much useful information right at your fingertips. A major companion to Tim's Assistant Engineers Handbook."
Mark Hermann, Recording Engineer

"This book gives many time saving shortcuts and quick creative solutions that most engineers take years to acquire through practice. I would highly recommend the book - I haven't seen anything quite like it and I think it's what a lot of people really want!"
Chris Puram, Recording Engineer

"I've learned a lot from Tim's book, and it's fun to read."
Bruce Bartlett, Recording Engineer

"This book deserves to be read by all recording engineers and kept in the studio as a handbook to reach for on a daily basis."
Mike Collins, Recording Engineer

"What makes this book so useful is the format. Each chapter is divided into small sections that provide the gist of each recording tip. The result is that normally complex ideas are distilled into easy to understand principles (helped even more by some superbly clear illustrations)...The most profound chapter is the first one...The tips here are essential for anyone planning a career longer than six months in the industry, and are eminently practical and down to earth. This book is worth it's purchase price for this one chapter alone!...Industry gold in a handy package." - Music Mart magazine
