The 7th edition not only taught me some new things but also gave me fresh ideas and perspectives for further utilizing it in my classes.” -- Kevin Harbison, recording engineer, Technical Director of Grusin Music Hall, University of Colorado Boulder ""Whether you are recording others or capturing your own muse, this book can help you find your way.
