"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

"The Interactive Guide to Home Recording" is split into two main sections, Basic Principles and the Instrument Index. Topics covered in the Basic Principles section include:

Production & Session Planning Signal Flow
Microphone Selection & Placement Level Setting
Compression/Limiting Equalization
Reverb and Effects 20 Steps to a Great Mix

Full of tips and techniques used by the pros, here's where you'll learn everything you need to vastly improve the quality of your recordings, as well as production considerations and session preparation. Click here for some further articles on these topics.

"The '20 Steps to a Great Mix' is probably the best part - it ties all the bits and pieces together." - Bill Fritz, Musician/Home Recordist, Milford NH

The second main section is the Instrument Index. This comprehensive reference is filled with illustrations demonstrating microphone selection and placement, EQ and compression suggestions for dozens of instruments, as well as an audio example of each instrument for reference and comparison. Say, for instance, you've got a sax player coming in to lay down a part. Just pop in the disk, click on "saxophone" and you'll find everything you need to know on how to get a great sax sound - as well as a sample of what a nicely recorded sax sounds like, for reference. No more frustrating delays while you try and figure out how to do it. Multiply that by the dozens of instruments found in the Index and you'll begin to get an idea of just how powerful the knowledge contained on this disk is and how it can help you start making better recordings - now!

Also included are a pop-up Glossary and Printable Resources such as track sheets, EQ, Reverb, FX reference charts and much more.

"The advice on EQing and micing alone can save a new home recording enthusiast a lot of grief and lead to better overall results. The overall quality and presentation are extremely professional. It looks and feels like a major studio production."
- Mark Wood, Home Recordist/Musician, Plano TX

For less than the price of a cheap microphone or a few cables, "The Interactive Guide to Home Recording" is without a doubt the single best investment you can make, if improving the quality of your recordings is important to you. Whether you've just purchased a pile of new gear and it's your first project, or even if you've done a lot of recording and you're ready to start getting more professional results, why put up with the frustration when this CD-ROM can get you on track, right now?
