Derived from the well-known, bestselling series, The AudioPro Home Recording Course Volumes One-Three, this is the second out of a series of six books and specifically covers how to make great tracks in a small studio. Up-to-date and comprehensive, this book details how to take a small room and create an excellent sounding recording space.
Readers are then guided through in-depth instruction on using that acoustically enhanced space to record guitars, bass, piano, keyboards, vocals, drums, horns and other instruments. Additionally, each instrument recording section explains the right way to work with the recorded parts with signal processors, effects and other sound processing tricks. Part of the SMART Guide series, this book is written in a style that is direct and accessible to both those with no previous experience and to more experienced professionals as well.
The complete series is designed to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date education on classic and modern techniques for professional audio production. Providing a logical progression of knowledge, if the entire series is followed from the first through the sixth title, readers will gain a very well-rounded and clear understanding of the audio recording process. Readers also have the option of focusing on one title to learn one aspect of the audio recording process—that being, in this case, how to make the very best recordings in a studio.
This combination of easy-to-understand explanations of concepts that readers need to know to make excellent recordings and a DVD that aurally and visually illustrates the concepts contained in the text makes this a unique and valuable learning experience for anyone in this field.
