The Roger Nichols Recording Method - A Primer for the 21st Century Audio Engineer (Paperback)

Learn the basics of digital recording, each step of the signal path, and everything from microphone placement to mixing strategy through the eyes and ears of "The Immortal" Roger Nichols, master engineer. From scientifically analyzing the differences between condenser, ribbon, and dynamic microphones, to sharing his secrets to an amazing mix, Nichols delivers something for everyone interested in the science and art of audio engineering---no matter what your experience level. The DVD-ROM includes Pro Tools session files, personally set up by Roger, to give you hands-on training.

It's the ultimate experience of having an eight-time GRAMMY(R)-winning engineer sit down in your studio to teach you from his personal experiences and techniques.
