Great First Step Of A New World
This book is a great first step into Audio Engineering career it was very helpful in ever aspect of a new journey of Audio Engineering with terms, definitions, useful practices and more. I’ve bought more comprehensive book since this purchases and would recommend it to anyone with a passion or curiosity of learning a new skill of Audio Engineering.

It’s a great intro book for someone learning to record and mix.
This book is a very good starting point for a person who is looking to progress a little farther in their home studio. It teaches the most important fundamentals without getting too dry, and it keeps things moving along and interesting.But there’s a strange juxtaposition of day one mixing lessons and instruction on dealing with customers in a commercial recording studio. I can’t fathom how there could be a person who would find both of these things useful simultaneously. I would hope that by the time a person has a studio and is booking time, they would have long known not to mix in solo too much. Also, some of the illustrations come across as a lot of filler. Do we really need two drawings of people sitting at a desk talking about pricing for studio time taking up a quarter of a page?I’m glad I bought this book though. However, I recommend it only to someone who wants a quick and dirty (albeit thorough) lesson on the fundamentals, and I suggest to that person that they continue their education after this book with other books that go into these concepts in more depth.

Easy to understand and digest
I had to buy this book for my electronic music class at my college, it breaks down all the components of audio engineering and the science of sound and how the equipment manipulates sound very well. I would recommend buying this whether you plan to go into audio engineering or want the know-how on using your own equipment if you plan to start a band or become a DJ.

Useful
A true basics 101. I bought this for my niece . I only wish someone would have given me this book when I was a kid. Very useful
Reviewer –
Content thus far is great, Book quality on the other hand…
Received this book yesterday and just cracked it open today. So far, the information has been presented clearly and is easy to understand. So why 3 stars? The very first page through the preface have somehow already detached themselves from the binding and are already coming out.. this is something I would expect from a 5 dollar book not a $25 dollar book

Great Intro to Music Production
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about music production. Author does a good job of breaking things down. In combination with a good ear training program (ie soundgym.co) this book can get you started on the path.

A good reference and road map
This book is great to have simply for its table of contents which you can use to go on line with to get 4 or 5 different explanations for the same concepts listed in this book…and you’ll want to get other explanations because the ones in this book are not the be all and end all and the topics covered need varying degrees of repetition, review, and different languaging for everyone to fully understand.

Great for those starting out. Love the QR codes to show examples.

A very nicely structured and easy-to-read material for any beginner in the field of audio engineering. It covers many important topics, such as history of audio production, sound and acoustics, recording techniques and microphones, file formats, digital vs. analog, signal flow, understanding of EQ, processors and effects, as well as working with people and running a recording session with musicians. Comprehensive but concise and easy to understand – excellent source of knowledge for any student eager to dive into the multidisciplinary and quickly developing science.

As a complete novice or tyro to the world of sound engineering this book does a great job of covering all the basics as well as general advice given in a way that makes you feel the author is right there with youI really appreciated the last chapter with all those varied frequently asked questions I am too afraid to ask pros – and to be honest I don’t know where to find such people so this was a real gemA great all around buy!
