Home Recording For Musicians For Dummies

For a long time i have been messing around with recording on a 4-track and my pc but getting bad results, but having no idea why, or what i need to do or buy to get some quality recordings. So i bought this book and it has opened up a whole world of home digital recording to me that i never had any way of accessing before. i now feel like i could confidently walk into a shop and buy the things i need and know exactly what im talking about, and know exactly what im looking for. If you want to get into home recording and dont know where to start, just buy this book, its all you need. I cant comment on whether more experienced musical technicians would find it insteresting as well, but im sure it would make a good reference book for them.

what are you waiting for?

When all else failed, I turned to this book. It is humorous, made me feel like I was not stupid, and was LOADED with information that was in a language I understood. Looking back on other books I had purchased before this one, I realized it had the same info. The author of this amazing book is no dummy. He knows how to communicate for the everyman. I have made some astounding projects thanks to Home Recording for Musicians for Dummies by Jeff Strong. With the deepest of gratitude.

Read Best Reviews of Home Recording For Musicians For Dummies Here

I have used dummies books for just about everything I need to learn about that I don't already know. They have always been found to be helpful and full of information that I would have otherwise either not understood or had no clue about.

I have been messing around with recording myself for quite some time. I recently purchased Cakewalk Sonar Producer edition for my laptop to do some home recording for a demo I am producing. I purchased the venerable Power Books on the subject, as well as used the online Help. All of which are fine for the program, but if you really want to learn what it takes to record a great sound, you need this book. It covers all the topics, in a simple, straight forward way, for an amateur musician to understand all the concepts, hardware and processes involved in getting that great sound out of your hard work. There is no frustration here trying to figure out what it all means. No lengthy babbling about what, how and why.

If your a pro, well, Dummies books certainly aren't for you unless you need a reference, however, if you just simply want to learn how to do it, this is the book for you.

With all that being said, I have already cut three songs that I previously recorded without using this book and the sound is light years ahead of my original recordings.

If you are going to school to study Sound or Sound reinforcement, then reading this book will give you a hedge in your classes.

Stop trying to do it yourself without learning the basics and get this book. It will save you a lot of frustration and time and have you produce that sound you've always been looking for!

....at least until I read Jeff Strong's book. I needed a book that would explain the basic elements of recording, mixing, and mastering. This book provided that, and then some, and at the same time managed to explain everything in a very clear and concise manner. Jeff takes the reader through all the stages of music creation, from choosing the type of recording studio (DAW vs a studio-in-th-box), micing techniques, MIDI basics, to the mixing and mastering phases, as well as how to get your music out to the masses (via internet streaming, CD production, etc). I bought this solely for the purpose of learning some basics in mixing and mastering...I was pretty ignorant when it came to things like panning, EQ, compression and signal processing. Not anymore. I actually know how to use EQ and Compression parameters now! Thanks, Jeff.
