We ended up with a few hundred extra copies from our old distributor of our first self-published book, Creative Music Recording Volume 2. This book compiles issues 11-20 of Tape Op that were published between 1999-2000 and was published in 2007. All of these issues are now out of print. The Foreword was written by our friend Steve Albini, and the book contains some pretty great interviews from those years with folks like Butch Vig, Jim O’Rourke, Jon Brion, Joe Chiccarelli, Jack Endino, Bob Weston, Tchad Blake, Dave Fridmann, Moby, Jim Dickinson, DJ Shadow, J. Robbins, Fugazi, Ani DiFranco, Spot, and many more.
It also has a collection of the very cool "Recording Recipes" that Curtis Settino did for Tape Op along with the much referenced guide to analog tape calibration. This book is equal parts inspiration, history, and an ongoing reference for anybody interested in recording music. Originally priced at $30, we’re blowing these out for $9.99 plus shipping for a limited time because we need to clear the space in our shipping distributor’s floor.
Once the first pallet is gone, the sale is over, so get your copy now!
Tape Op is a bi-monthly magazine devoted to the art of record making.
