Hey, nothing replaces the value of time spent in a professional facility with an experienced engineer, but this book is useful when you've never had the opportunity to mic something like a bagpipe and you need some guidelines to get satisfying results quicker.
Additionally, there are other nuggets like the section on how to kill RF in mic signals... Sure, some of this info is available online but having it all put together in a logically presented title is valuable.
I really don't think the negative reviews are fair. No offence, but if you guys are so adept then what the heck would you need a book for?
Peace

a good mix of old and new school mic placement techniques. not a lot of information for me personally, but a handy reference just to see how somebody else might approach a situation.

The book is extremely popular, too popular. Deeper insight like SMPTE reviews would have given me a better knowledge. However the enclosed CD with samples is worth the money alone. I would have appreciated that they had used the microphones they really wanted to demonstrate.
