Summary: Fantastic...
Comment: I've been a musician for years and decided it would be interesting to be on the other side of the glass for a change. Use this book as a general guide...not a bible. As most pro studios will tell you...ultimately you do whatever it takes to get a great recording. Almost every studio uses the techniques used in this book.
If you are serious about recording you should read as many recording books as you can...then practice, practice, practice. Add this book to your library, but get others such as the mixing engineer's handbook, studio drummer survival guide, etc...
Good luck and happy recording...

Summary: Almost no valuable information
Comment: The "ultimate guide"?
Hardly.
One could summarize all the advice in this book with one sentence "put a microphone 6-8" in front of it; or perhaps further away".
No attempt is made to suggest, for example, why one might choose one offered position over another. No attempt is made to explain different techniques for different styles of music and recording. And most important, no attribution is given as to what record we might turn to for example of a particular approach. It's as if the examples given are the only options; and choosing between those options is unimportant, as no guidance is offered.
It's hard to believe anyone gains anything he didn't already know from this book.
Perhaps more than a paragraph on bass would be useful instead of endless pages of instruments ("put a microphone 6-8" in front of it") that one might encounter once every 10 years. And if I did encounter a hammered dulcimer, for example? I'd probably make a guess on my own and put a microphone 6-8" in front of it.
