The Recording Guitarist ReviewAll of you guitarists who are into home recording (or thinking about it) should check out this book. It is a very broad, comprehensive look at recording. What's different about this book is that rather than being for producers or engineers, this one REALLY IS sharply focused on the guitarist's perspective. It covers every aspect of recording guitar, and while it doesn't go too deep in any one area, it does a GREAT job on zeroing-in on the KEY aspects of each subject (including some of the juicy secrets and tricks).
There's a lot of material covered, but the book's organizational stucture is both brilliantly logical, and simple -- it traces the whole signal path from guitar to the final output media. And the book is so well-written, clear, concise that it also makes a good cover-to-cover read.
There is some material geared toward the professional studio session man that is probably overkill for most of us. But in these cases, this is interesting reading nontheless, and there ARE details in the material you can apply to your own situation. There is also material geared to the "home recording" hobbiest. More importantly, there's a lot of info that ANY guitarist will find valuable in ANY recording situation.
If you're like me and have spent some time in studios and home recording, there's a lot of info here that you probably already know, but what I found was that it contained a LOT of very usful little details that you typically only learn through experience. And it doesn't bog you down with a lot of stuff you won't ever need to know. So if you're new to recording and feel overwhelmed, this is a GREAT place to start--there's a TON of value here.
For me, I found that it reinforces some things I already knew. But since there is SO MUCH to absorb and retain about recording, I don't mind getting that positive reinforcement--it keeps me sharp. But more importantly, I find it fills in some of the gaps and details where I might know something conceptually, but not how to achieve it.
And while there's a lot of "food for thought" there is also plenty stuff of a practical reference nature, like micing techniques, tables of delay settings and artificial harmonics, etc.
Note: The book is more geared toward more traditional guitar recording methods than to plugging a DMA direcly into 4 track. But even if that's your approach, there's a lot of stuff here that's applicable and worth knowing.
Whether you know a lot or a little it's hard to go wrong with this one.The Recording Guitarist OverviewThis is a practical, hands-on guide to a variety of recording environments, from modest home studios - where the guitarist must also act as the engineer and producer - to professional facilities outfitted with top-quality gear and staffed with audio engineers.
