5.0 out of 5 stars This book will show you the ropes
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2014

Wow! I had to buy this book for my Recording and Digital Audio Production class, but would highly recommend this book to anyone, whether they have a class or not. Before, I had no idea what sort of microphones or equipment to get, but this book shows you how to build a recording setup, and all kinds of specific recording facts that all musicians or people who wish to record should know.

It also explains different roles in the recording industry, and the differences between professional setups in a recording studio compared to a simple home studio. Now, when I do at-home recordings, or talk to other musicians who have been in the industry for a long time, I feel on-par with others, and use the best equipment and settings to suit my needs.

If you are in the slightest bit serious about this career, this is a great way to get some GREAT information. I've been doing this for a few years, and still feel as excited as I was on day one when I bought my first textbook... it does get a bit DRY and sometimes hard to get through after a long day of tracking... HOWEVER, like I said, If this is your career, no matter your level of expertise, this is a fantastic review, all while learning new things. 2 Thumbs WAY up!

An older edition yes, but if you have any aspirations of becoming a recording engineer this is the book for you. Mr Hunters insights and explanations are clear and concise and he makes working with the nuts and bolts of engineering easy and applying them to a digital audio workstation a snap.

I used this book for two separate audio classes and found the information invaluable both times.The charts he uses to show frequency ranges of instruments alone are worth the price.

In my college audio for television class the 3rd edition of this book was used as the text. With each edition it has only gotten better.
It is plainly written. It has the theory as well as the practical application that is so essential for an audio person to know. Whether personal or professional to learn from and to have as a reference I can't recommend this book highly enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good text, sub-par Kindle translation.
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2012

This review is for the Kindle edition of Modern Recording Techniques. This book is my first Kindle book, and so far I am fairly pleased. I bought the book for my  HP TouchPad  and its included Kindle Reader (Beta). Compared to the physical copy of the text, which is quite large (over 600 pages long!), my tablet is light and tiny!

Reading the textbook is actually pleasant. The text is not as dense as other textbooks, so it is a fairly easy read. The diagrams are both clear and useful, and they definitely help with my understanding of the subject. In the Kindle edition, there are also links inside the text, so whenever the text references another section of itself or another chapter, you can touch the link and instantly navigate to the location it references. There is also a back button, allowing a reader to instantly return to the previous page after clicking the link.

However, the main complaint I have with this textbook, and the reason I must knock it down one star, is that it does not come with a table of contents. It has a lovely index of links at the end, but the inability to jump to chapters or even read the table of contents is a serious flaw, and its exclusion was a tremendous oversight. The only advantages to the Kindle edition, which you cannot resell when your class has ended, are its portability and the ability to jump to linked locations. Due to other reviewers who also noticed that the table of contents was missing, I was able to make an informed decision when I purchased this edition, but it is still disappointing.

For those of you who, like me, are still interested in the Kindle edition of the textbook, go ahead and buy it! If you want to make your own table of contents, place bookmarks in the following locations:

1485, 2121, 2592, 3169, 4193, 4442, 4993, 5762, 6000, 7014, 7603, 7949, 8053, 8703, 9430, 9575, 9909, 10182, 10349, 10697, 10998, 11140, 11178, and 11299.

While it is not an actual table of contents, it will allow you to find the necessary chapters much more quickly than if you had no bookmarks at all, a tremendous boon if you are reading this book for a class and not on your own time.

I'm in a Digital Audio class and this was the recommended text. It is a very thorough and detailed text. It covers all necessary topics. My prof says that there are some things he doesn't think it covers as in depth as it should, however, he has 30+ years in the business. It's a great book for the course and an excellent reference manual.

I can understand how a book will begin to show wear after years of use. This book began falling apart just weeks into my class. It is coming "unbound" at the seam. It should be replaced. I will hope for an email response before I try to call customer service.
