Al Schmitt on Vocal and Instrumental Recording Techniques

Je m'attendais à davantage de détails sur les techniques de prise de son. Je ne suis pas une professionnelle en la matière mais je n'ai pas appris grand chose de très intéressant. Je rejoins un précédent commentaire sur le fait que toutes ces pages remplies de caractéristiques techniques sur le matériel utilisé par l'auteur auraient pu être mises à profit pour transmettre autre chose au lecteur. Dommage de la part d'une légende comme Al Schmitt dont on pourrait apprendre tellement de choses.

I purchased this book for new information, but it was simply a transcript of some online videos on the same topic, with Al Schmitt.

You read the book and you can just hear Al reading it to you. There is so much good info in the book. His techniques are great, his stories are interesting, and he even provides diagrams about his work. After reading the book I went and recorded a big band. Nothing compared to his work but it just developed that kind of inspiration for me. Al is the man! Oh, and the book I got is hardcover. Can't get any better!

Could be thicker and of course filled with even more information, but it’s worth it in my opinion.

Al has written a book that is pleasant to read and full of sound advice gathered over a lifetime of experience. I would not pass this up.
