"Good... but could have been better."

zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
It goes from the basics (signal routing, micing and recording individual parts etc) to the advanced final chapter about setting up a room for recording and mixing and explaining accoustics. (which may be over a lot of hobbist heads)
The good: Down to earth style of the host explaining everything in laymans terms.
The bad: really skims through the mixing part.
The ugly: The duh factor. The main message when it comes to equipment is the more expensive the better. This isn't aimed at the guy happy with a simple budget setup in the spare bedroom.
This is good for people just starting out or those who are ready to make a serious commitment to their home studio. For those who want to go beyond the basics may want to look at "The Art of Mixing" or "Gorilla Recording" if your just a hobbist that isn't going to invest $2400 in a mic pre.
Sound
Professional quality DVD
Features
Wish it had more on mixing, little less on the duh factor
Ease of Use
It's a DVD and the chapters are small enough to go back and rewatch a specific tip
Value
Good value, but not everything you need.
Musical Background:
Active Musican
