176.0. "Looking for a good book" by KATADN::BOTTOM () Thu Nov 07 1985 07:50

I've been looking for a book that explains the different types of 
waveform synthesis as well a description of what effect the different 
parameter settings have on the waveform/sound.

Is there such a book(s)?

thanks

176.2Recording 101 textbook?ICS::HALLWhaddya mean, GOOD? I want RESULTS!Wed Nov 07 1990 08:3616
    I'm just looking to do some relatively simple basement recording stuff
    - put down a few tracks, mix them, and put them on a cassette.  I've
    done a limited amount of recording in studios, and although I dinked
    around with recorders as a kid (my dad had a TV shop), I don't know
    where to start in looking for equipment.

    I've been studying this file for a while, reading all the
    4-track/8-track notes, and certainly, there's a lot of good
    information here. However (and reasonably so), what I don't find are
    the basics.  Can someone recommend a good book that, in less than 100
    pages, covers the fundamentals of recording?

    Thanks,
    Charlie

    Get "Home Recording For Musicians" by Craig Anderton.  Make sure you
    get the latest edition (first one came out in the mid-seventies
    sometime).  Most music stores that sell books and many book stores
    carry this.

    Brian,
    
    Thanks; the title sounds like just the ticket - especially the part
    about "Home".  I'll check it out.

          I can recommend "Making 4 Track Music by John Peel.  It's
             published by Making Music Magazine, which is a free mag 
             distributed through the UK music shops.
    
       They are at 20 Bowling Green Lane, London, EC1R 0BD
