Up until now, there was no way for artists to get the answers to questions such as these except by hard won experience. This often costs a lot of wasted time and money in recording studios with the artist not getting what they expected, and not knowing why. Fortunately for artisis and technical personnel alike, there is now "How To Run A Recording Session".
Covering all aspects of the artist's activities in and around the recording process, it gives all types of performers the tools to deal with the most important elements of their session: the people involved.
Completely non-technical in nature, "How To Run A Recording Session" explains the roles and duties of the participants in modern recording studios. In a lively, entertaining and easy to understand style, readers are taken through the planning and implementation of recording sessions from before the beginning to after the end, often being given fascinating insights through anecdotal examples from the author's own extensive professional experiences.
Being a non-technical text, all practitioners, regardless of instrument, discipline or level of experience, will greatly benefit from reading this book. Even the section dealing with studio equipment is written in such a way that a tuba player from Tulsa, who doesn't know a microphone from a mouse trap will get a better understanding of what he/she will need for their sessions. |
