If you're interested in recording, if you have a project studio or have hopes of producing a music cd, you must get this book. It was more like talking with and getting great advice from over thirty producers, than reading a book. I couldn't put it down.

I highly recommend that anyone in the music business read this book-- wether or not you are interested in making hits. it's full of really useful information, basically there is no one approach-- everyone has hits on their own terms.
all extremely talented and intelligent people are interviewed.
recommended for home-recordists especially.
