The Interactive Guide to Home Recording Reviews
"It's a wonderful reference AND learning tool for both recording and live work. The information on EQ alone is worth the price of admission."
- Don DiMasi, Project Studio Owner/Composer/Producer, Denver Colorado
"When I started out recording on a 4-track, it was impossible to find the information we've presented here, short of interning in a major commercial studio." says Mark Gifford, award-winning audio engineer and president of Pomona Productions, Inc. He goes on further - "This is the perfect delivery medium for this information - you can't hear a book and videos are too unwieldy. I can't believe no one has thought of this before! There's no need to try and synch up a CD with a book, or fast forward and rewind through a videotape - the info you need is just a click away, what could be easier?"
"The mixdown section was really well done! I especially liked the explanation of how to make the drums sound "right," how to mix the levels of the different instruments and the graphics that accompany this section."
- Dave Snyder, Musician/Home Recordist, Cuyahoga Falls, OH |
