About the book
Bobby Owsinski, an author, teacher, producer and engineer, introduces the craft of audio recording as most musicians and producers now practice it, in home studios. Its first section runs from how microphones work to techniques for recording drums, vocals and individual instruments. Other topics include preamps, compressors and DAWs, placement advice, drum and percussion prep, basic tracking, overdubs, and stereo and immersive recording. The second section collects interviews with hit-making engineers, among them Al Schmitt, Eddie Kramer and Frank Filipetti, on the creative processes behind both current hits and older classics. The handbook is used as a standard text in college courses around the world.
Musician and film maker Andi Dumitrescu said it helped him record music at the level he had hoped for, after years of frustration that Romania lacked sound engineers of Western standard.

Andi Dumitrescu (Musician, Film Maker)
The Recording Engineer Handbook and The Mixing Engineer Handbook. These are the books that helped me record music at the level I hoped for. For years I lived frustrated that Romania doesn’t have even one sound engineer that could rise to the level of Western ones and this frustration pushed me to learn recording techniques which are, in my opinion, the most important steps in producing an album. Even more important than mixing or mastering.
