 Rating:  - excellent book!First, I would like to ask studioslave a question regarding his review of this book: In which part of it did you find information that isn't relevant to the professional recording industry? I've been recording professionally for more than 20 years and found the information to be very accurate and have seen most of the suggested mic techniques in use by professionals almost daily. If you didn't learn anything new from it and needed something more comprehensive or technical that's fine... but just ...

It is so much more than "just put a mic 6"-8" in front of it and hit record". There are very useful starting points in placing mic's and in mic selection but ultimatly it is up to you to experiment and find what sounds good to you and your project. Rating: - excellent data for the beginnerHey, nothing replaces the value of time spent in a professional facility with an experienced engineer, but this book is useful when you've never had the opportunity to mic something like a bagpipe and you need some guidelines to get satisfying results quicker.

Read More Rating: - good reference manuala good mix of old and new school mic placement techniques. not a lot of information for me personally, but a handy reference just to see how somebody else might approach a situation. Rating:  - Simple microphone techniquesThe book is extremely popular, too popular. Deeper insight like SMPTE reviews would have given me a better knowledge. However the enclosed CD with samples is worth the money alone. I would have appreciated that they had used the microphones they really wanted to demonstrate.
