hey all,
I posted a while back on a new home recording book/series called Killer Home Recording by Brandon Drury.
Well, he's about to release it to the general public (he had a limited run for members of his recordingreview forum a few months back), and he's decided to give away the first part on setting up for free.
I'm about half way through it (I hadn't gotten very far before since I had the pdfs saved on my recording computer out in the garage, but I got an ebook reader for my birthday
), and it seems pretty good. There is a slight bias against ProTools in parts, and socialism too, but for the most part it seems to be geared towards helping the reader avoid spending ridiculous amounts of money when trying to set up a home recording rig. If I'd read this last year, I'd probably have saved myself a fair bit of hassle. I also like his writing style - very informal, plenty of humour: not the kind of book that feels like a chore to read.
I guess you could find most of the info in it by spending time doing plenty of research online, but having it all gathered together in one place for free is pretty damn handy. I'm not sure how much the rest of the series will cost when it's finally released though.
