⭐Dated but OK.

⭐excellent

⭐I did not receive the book that is pictured, it was a different edition.

⭐Really enjoyed seeing the flexi 45 in the inner sleave from this immaculate first edition print!Simple, every detail laid out and simple to read.

⭐This, and other works by Anderton, have taught me more than I’ll ever use as a hobby musician. Be aware that it is outdated for the digital age – entire chapters about the care and feeding of tape decks are useless in the digital age, other than their historical value. However, tips about setting up a home studio, and an overview of what various gadgets do (which hasn’t really changed that much in the digital age, except for ease of programming) remain helpful, if you want to record actual instruments, with a mic. I think the naysayers have fully digital rigs, with everything going directly into a computer, set up in a bedroom. This book will not help them.

⭐What surprised me the most about this book is its level of detail when analysed even though upon reading it sounds balanced and very accessible. Anderton tackles some of the more complex techniques with ease an this is indicated by the way the novice and advanced reader can easily immerse themselves without feeling bemused. It is structured in modules with a concise contents listing so the reader can easily use it as a good read or as a reference title to help problems at a glance. I felt the index could be more comprehensive and perhaps a glossary would prove helpful but these are minor issues but at this price (Amazon’s!!) nothing comes close so far. If this is the standard to expect I might get some more American books (I’m British you see). If a new revision in hardback or ring-bound came along, especially if it covered more digital and hard disk recording techniques, I would be the first in line. I was an audio amateur until I read this.David Bamford

⭐I purchased this book hoping to get some help setting up and making music in my little project studio. I have a Cubase SX setup, and wanted to lat down some tracks of some original tunes I have written. The book has an array of technical details, none of which help a beginner (or experienced person) for that matter set up a studio and make good recordings. If you want to learn ohm’s law, and other electronic nomenclature, this book might be of use although a good electronics dictionary would be your best bet. For learning the basics of home recording, there are much better books and info out there. Pass this one by.

⭐Like all of Anderton’s books, this one has lots of technical details and nice diagrams, but does not get into what one needs to make better sounds. It is written from a very left-brain perspective, and leaves one with the feeling that music is to be programmed like a computer instead of played to provoke emotion.Is it worthless? If your goal is to make sweet recordings, I would have to say yes. If you are into home recording, or if you are looking to develop your skills, you could probably find better information in one of those magazines with a glossy cover.
