Good inspiration
By Jim Mathis
I found this book to be very helpful. I didn’t recognise how to set up my own home studio, but I wanted to, and didn’t know rather where to start. I don’t actually have the longanimity to plow through a bunch of technical manuals or reviews on equipement, I necessitated a good deal of ideas and inspiration for what a real working musician would do to get me unstuck. To realize that galore these big name guys neared things in a actually down to world fashion and see how they set up their own places and what gear they applied was gorgeous inspiring for me. I’m already attempting things out on my own and making headway. Good stuff.

Very cool bands and advice
By Señor
This is a very cool book — it is like getting a personal tour of the dissimilar studios, with 311, korn, snoop dogg (nice) and other people… I actually like the Michael Beinhorn part, every one talks smack with regards to the music biz but he actually seems to know the game from both sides… That and the parts when it comes to Darin from SOAD and the guitar sound were my favorites. Also in truth liked the details on the instrumentation to get, whether it is a tube mike or just foam board for your basement.

A Completely Useless Book
By Cameron Straatsma
I was rather excessively affected emotionally when I basi read a review of this book seeing as it had consultations with one of my favored bands The Crystal Method. In case you are wondering, the ‘…and More’ artists listed on the book cover are Michael Bienhorn, BT and 311.
This book notwithstanding is full of completely useless articles. The “interviews” with the artists consist of once sentence, despicable tidbits of selective information that you could get from any other article ever written in regards to each band/artist. There is utterly not one thing noted of recording proficiencies as is cited in the tagline of this book.
What is brought up is something to the effect of: “I think digital synths may sound as good as analog synths.” Yes, rather utile information.
Overall I found in a literal sense not one single bit of info in this book that I had not already read in an article already published with regards to one of these artists.
The only thing I may say partially positive when it comes to this book, which is likewise exceedingly disappointing, is that there are pretty thourough pictures of each band’s studio. I say disappointing because these pictures are comparatively small, reasonably low solution and worst of all black and white.
Overall this book is a huge disappointment and I want my $13 back! I got perfectly not one utile piece of selective information out of this book. I’ve read better articles with these bands in $4 magazines.
