Audio recordings are the calling card with which musicians share
and promote their work so a knowledge of recording techniques and
technologies is essential to the 21st century musician. Recording
On a Budget provides a comprehensive introduction to the recording
arts from a budget-conscious perspective. Written by a professional
musician and educator, this book is ideal for musicians, educators,

studio including microphones, mixer, computer, digital audio
workstation software, and signal processors. Additional chapters
provide a solid foundation in acoustics, audio recording,
podcasting, mixing and mastering. The final chapter of the book
features do-it-yourself projects that can be completed with a
modest selection of tools.
