Customer Reviews

Recording

Good general book. Not exactly what I wanted. I was looking for more practical advice on how to produce good midi files on my home computer.

Think you know Sound?

If you think you know sound, you don't know jack 'til you read this book. I was completely suprized how much I thought I knew about effects and proccessing Now I am sure I know a whole lot more. Just wish there were more diagrams and pictures.

A Great Book For what It Was Intended

Sometimes I see people give this series of books "so so" reviews. This book, and others in the Pual White "Basic" series are made to be a small reference book. These books are about the size of a pocket dictionary, plus it only cost 8 bucks. If you are looking for something that has every detail on the subject just keep looking. If you need something that gives a good overview and makes a good book to throw in a gig bag, this is the book you are looking for.

Great Read

This book is a great read, and a bargain at 8 bucks. It gave me a great overall understanding about how effects and processors work in the studio. I had some previous knowledge on the subject, but had many questions answered by the book. I would recomend this book to anyone who wants to clarify their knowlege on the subject. Some topics included are: insert points, aux sends, eq for certain instruments, gates, compressors, and more. You can't afford to not buy this book.

Basic Effects & Processors

Another great book from Paul White! Well written and valuable for the practising musician as well as the home studio recording entusiasts. A must to your pocket sized collection series.
