Description: Whether you're a beginner looking for clear instructions on the fundamental techniques of recording, or you're a seasoned pro in search of a reference guide of key concepts, Studio Essentials is for you. Tom Hapke provides precise, results-oriented information geared towards the hands-on musician. With instructions on dozens of techniques and concepts written in a "just the facts" manner, you'll be up and running in no time. Over 100 helpful photos and diagrams help to show the way. Topics include room acoustics, microphones, effects, exciters, enhancers, equalizers, filters and tips and tricks. This is an excellent resource and reference guide for home hobbyists and experienced professionals, with valuable information on miking techniques. The basic information is transferable and won't "go out of style" because it's not geared towards any one software package.
