Sound Recording Advice for the Home Recording Studio

As I was poring over the usual batch of letters we receive here at Tape Op, I realized that a lot of our question-laden readers would do well to read a book about recording with a real basic, straight-up approach. John Volanski recently wrote and self-published just such a book, and it's called Sound Recording Advice. All the information is presented very clearly, with simple, logical real-world options for the low to medium budget home recordist. There's great info on buying new and used gear, recommendations for studio setups at different price points, some simple DIY projects... just about everything you need for reference when recording at home. I wish this book was around 10 years ago, 'cause it would have saved me a lot of time. Another bonus is that it mentions Tape Op as a good resource for its readers! Aww, shucks! (www.johnvolanski.com)
