Great Reference

I snagged a used copy back in early 2003 and I'm very glad that I did. It's still, to this day, one of my "go to" reference books. The information is not limited to just those involved in recording. Anyone doing live sound or needing a basic understanding of acoustics or understanding the electronics will benefit, etc., etc. It was a great find then and still is today. Very recommended!

Required reading/reference

Regrettably out of print for a number of years, this textbook is a must-have for both the aspiring and the experienced recording engineer. Although the technology is now somewhat dated (for example, there is a notable lack of information on digital audio). Others have tried to fill the gap this book left in the past 10 years - none have succeeded.Find a copy, buy (or steal...) it and do not lend it to anyone!
