I received a free item to review.This sixth edition of Bruce and Jenny Bartlett’s Practical Recording Techniques is my first and I’m often cautious about ‘name’ books that have been around awhile. Have they kept pace technically or are they just coasting on the authors’ reputations?In this case the answer is clear: ‘Practical Recording Techniques’ works because it’s well-written and honest with its audience – whether amateur beginner recording at home, semi pro or professional engineer starting out, the information is solid and detailed, adaptable, and hands-on, and the tone is respectful and positive throughout.I’ve done a fair amount of amateur and semi-pro recording from my days cabling cassette decks together, analog studios, to full in-the-box production and I thoroughly enjoyed reading and hearing what the authors had to say.It covers the ‘textbook’ basics of acoustics and recording equipment without reading like a textbook, and that’s means I’m far more likely to retain a lot more. Mics and placement, mixing, the signal chain are all covered with a skew towards digital recording, which was probably not as prevalent in earlier editions.Be sure to download the audio examples from the companion site – from the opening chapters illustrating 6 different kinds of recording setups, the audio tracks provide a necessary context – you can’t learn recording by simply reading about it (or listening to other recordings, but that’s a necessary interim step).Two things I especially like about the tracks is 1) they’re introduced by either Bruce or Jenny and they illustrate complex concepts simply: meaning demonstrating frequency response, echo and reverb using a voice, as opposed to an entire band.
