Intro To Recording Techniques

[CPettigrew]

Hi-

A very fine director I work with has built himself a beautiful music room, and would like to get into some live recording, using a not yet purchased ProTools rig. His question to me was what might be a good intro book on mics and recording techniques. The gear itself won't be an issue; just a good solid text on recording (mostly) acoustic instruments.

Any info will be greatly appareciated. Thanks.

Boy, isn't that sentiment a sign of the times.
At least he's not saying "All I need is Pro Tools".

He might want to check this out.
For books, I'd check out the Mix Pro Audio Series.

I passed those along; many thanks.
