"An excellent book if you are interested in building amplifiers, or if you are just interested in learning exactly how they work."
"This is a very technical book."

David Miles Huber's approachable writing style, coupled with over 500 technical diagrams, screen shots and product illustrations, makes this an essential resource which you will want to refer to again and again. Having said that, there's always somthing new to learn or have clarified...there is some extremely effective use of a generous supply of illustrations in this book." - mightywight.net. "I would also recommend it highly to anyone getting into recording at the home or project-studio level as it will give you a really good grounding in the theory and industry practice which underpins the design of all that equipment and software you spend so much money on!"

"Everything I needed for my college class @ $10.00 when other people spent $40 at the college bookstore."
"This book provides a thorough breakdown of techniques and procedures commonly used in today's recording environments."
"Its called "Modern Recording Techniques" so i was hoping it might show some cool tips and tricks."
"Love this book, it's so easy to read and understand."
"I bought this book thinking it would be more of a hands on aspect of engineering."

Basic Mixing Techniques blows the lid off the secrets of mixing and explains in easy and illustrated terms how you can create a professional-quality recording with even the most basic equipment.

In the planning section, Mr. White makes careful observations about the recording process and the need to start off on the right foot. All participants in the process will be best served spending time on the frontend of a project building relationships and establishing expectations. In the first paragraph, Mr. White sums up the chapter by pointing out that bands tend to think they can simply do what they do live and record it and the project is done. In the final chapter, mix automation, Mr. White covers the very basics of this extensive area of the recording art. I enjoyed reading Basic Mixing Techniques and feel it is a good book for the beginning recording enthusiast as well as a useful refresher for a more experienced engineer."
"Some good ideas, but it was written before the main crush of DAW recording."
"I thought that at the very least, this would be a good book to use to associate myself with the formal terminology involved in mixing and refresh my knowledge of basic skills. This can be advantageous though in that it goes into details of how to get great use out of cheap hardware and explains how processes work that are normally automated within software and so are taken for granted."
"With all the vaious mixes out there this book is a good ready reference for the pro and an excellent teaching tool for the novice sound person."
"Therefore the 'Basic' series is a VERY expensive way to get access to all of Paul White's great information found in 'Creative Reading 1 & 2' books."

I've also added a couple of images from the physical and the kindle edition of the book to illustrate the issue that I'm talking about."
"I teach an introductory class in electronics at a small university. However, there were some notable gaps in the Second Edition that I typically teach in an electronics class; specifically, I teach a section on transducers and microcontrollers. I've been using the Arduino for class the last couple of years because most scientists would use a microcontroller to design a piece of equipment instead of discrete gates and logic chips. The chapters are designed to be somewhat modular; for instance, I can teach the basics of analog electronics and transistors and then move to microcontrollers without necessarily having to spend a lot of time time on discrete logic chips."

This won't make you an expert in electronics, it is definitely on the simple side of things (like algebraic simplifications of mathematical models that are actually rooted in calculus or differential equations), but that's exactly what I was looking for. Seems steep but if you plan on making use of your new-found knowledge for the foreseeable future, you will be using these tools well after you've worked through this book."
"Challenge his tech skills without been overwhelming."
"great book for learning the basics."
"Fun book, I plan on buying a ket to try out the expereiments."
"Informative yet simple."
"Of course you need to know electronics!"
"This book's layout kept me turning it's pages to learn more."
