Very Shallow

The material was very surface level and does not go into enough detail to get good recordings. Even something as basic as trial and error methods to get the right vocal sound and figuring out which part of the vocal chain to tweak were not covered. Something like changing mic placement for sibilance was mentioned but not enough detail about what other mic placements to try.

For beginners

I love the author enthusiasm but after a few chapters I realized this book is for beginners not for an recording artist like myself. I still enjoyed listening to the audio book.
