"If you're serious about recording - whether you're an amateur
enthusiast, a student, a musician or an audio professional - you'll
find this book an informative, in-depth, cover-to-cover read and a
useful reference manual...an excellent read and a must-have
reference book." - Music Tech magazine
"Modern Recording Techniques is in its sixth edition, which fact is
a testament to the quality of the material on offer here...it's
presented in a very user friendly way, with a plethora of
illustrations of everything connected with recording. This way, the
theory is broken down into easily digestible chunks. One of the
best things in an already terrfic book is the range of DIY
tutorials, where you are presented with practical examples of
principles and how they work...Modern Recording Techniques has
become the bible of recording for many engineers, and it's not
difficult to see why. Always helpful, clear and friendly, learning
has never been so easy or so much fun. An essential buy for all
studio owners." - Music Mart magazine
Published reviews of earlier edition:
"I would recommend it highly to anyone getting into recording at
the home or project-studio level as it will give you a really good
grounding in the theory and industry practice which underpins the
design of all that equipment and software you spend so much money
on!

"No worries when this handy reference is nearby. It covers the
basics about everything, from room acoustics to running a session.
If you're a beginner, grab it now. If you think you know it all,
you might still learn a thing or two.

"This is quite a surfeit of riches. ...If I were going into the
professional recording business...this volume would be my
choice."
- John Sunier, Audiophile Audition Audiophile Audition, May
2000
"This book is a must if you plan on doing anything at home besides
hooking up a DAT machine directly to the output of your sampler. It
gives in-depth information on mic placement and techniques, and
provides you with the know-how that you'll need the first time you
go to a real recording studio. If you're going to jump in to the
deep end of the pool right away, it makes sense to take water
wings, just in case."
- SYNC: Resources for the Electronic Musician
"A comprehensive, readable, up-to-date guide to all facets of
recording."
- MIDI Classics®
"Practical information on state-of-the-art audio topics. ...Ideal
for the practicing or aspiring recording engineer."
- BarnesAndNoble.com
"The authors - both industry professionals - explore everything
from microphone placement and studio design to desktop CD recorders
and signal processing."
- Book News, Inc.
"This book is the best I have found so far. Similar books, such as
the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook, read like instruction
booklets that are so confusing that you are not sure if you are
reading about a microphone or trying to put together a bookshelf.
This book has stayed on my computer desk and by my side for the
past year. Definitely worth the money! "
Customer review, Amazon.com
".I borrowed this book from my university library and decided to
buy at as a result. I have found it invaluable as a reference guide
for gaining a general understanding of various techniques. I would
recommend it to people who perhaps have a general idea of the
subject, and who are looking for something to introduce some of the
technical aspects of Sound Recording. However, if you are looking
for detailed explanations of anything in particular then this book
is probably not the best solution. However, I am very happy with my
purchase and often find myself reading it for my own interest
rather than as a technical reference. Excellent introduction and
reference, but not one for the more experienced professionals.
