This book for professional and amateur musicians is an inspired cross between Stephen Covey’s wildly popular Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and Debbie Allen’s Confessions of a Shameless Self Promoter. Musician and rock journalist, Michael Gelfand (of the band, Fuller), shoots from the hip and tells his fellow musicians the straight truth about this business: It will chew you up and spit you out... all before breakfast... unless you’ve got a solid plan of attack. This advice is for every struggling musician out there who wants their band to gain momentum and break through the noise.
(Technical Reference). Open a music gear catalog and it's bursting with an incredible array of tools available for home recording: recorders, software, interfaces, microphones, and more. And while that's exciting, the sheer volume of choices can be a distraction to the real goal of home recording: getting some music down. Home Studio Clinic , written from a musician's point of view, is designed to help you build and use a studio based on your musical goals, not necessarily on the assumption that you want to become a master engineer. By exploring concepts and various common tasks, this reader-friendly book gives you the know-how to choose equipment that suits your needs and style, and the techniques to use it effectively. "The goal," Menasche says, "is to spend studio time creating, not reading owner's manuals."
