Product Description
Ever since his father gave him a disc recorder at the tender age of 10, Bruce Swedien has known what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. The names of the people he has worked with are too many to list, but when one mentions musicians like Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, Sarah Vaughan, Eddie Harris, Quincy Jones, Jennifer Lopez, and even Michael Jackson, a great deal is immediately understood. In this book, Swedien generously gives away detailed information from his lifetime in the studio-from a musical, technical, and very personal perspective. This book has something for everyone who is interested in music, especially those curious about the stories behind the scenes of some of the best music to ever come out of the recording studio.

5 out of 5 stars A must read for recording engineers!   March 5, 2010
Curtis Jay Vincent (Sierra Vista, AZ - United States)
I loved the book. Very unpolished and informal, but in a very good way. I felt like I was reading a book written by a friend. Hope to meet him one day.


4 out of 5 stars Swedien knows his stuff   November 29, 2009

He certainly know what he is talking about. The book was interesting, but a little repetitive. Bruce Swedien is an icon in the recording indusrty. He gives up stories about recording several greats throughout the last 40 or 50 years. He also gives info on miking all types of instruments in the studio. I would have liked a few more studio stories, but it is worth reading. He talks lots about his work with Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson.
