[English]
Today's hottest home-studio trend is the revival of analog recording. Everyone knows that digital is convenient, consistent, and reliable - but if you want the warm, live sound of real music, you need to allow analog back into the mix. The good news is that the equipment you need is still out there - and surprisingly affordable. This book tells you how to find, maintain and use:

• analog tape machines
• analog mixing consoles and monitors
• vintage and vintage-style microphones
• analog reverberation, echo, compression and limiting.

The book also takes you through the process of building a home studio and a live echo chamber. And there are hints and tips from the analog experts: engineers and producers who have worked with everyone from Phil Spector, Sonny & Cher, The Beach Boys and The Beatles through to Nirvana, Maroon 5, Paul Westerberg, and The White Stripes. The package includes an 11-track audio CD that demonstrates what you can achieve when you bring the human sound of analog into your digital home studio.

Reseña del editor

Increasingly, musicians are rediscovering the virtues of recording on the analogue gear that everyone disposed of during the 80s digital revolution. By integrating vintage equipment into their studio set-up, they can take advantage of the classic analog warmth and low-end, while still having the ease-of editing that Pro Tools affords. "Analog Recording" takes readers through setting up a studio and working with the great tape recorders, mixers, outboard gear, monitors and microphones of the 50s, 60s and 70s. As well as teaching you how to use the equipment, you will learn how to recognise bargains and how to maintain them, saving money in the process. Notable bands/artists that record using vintage equipment include: The White Stripes, Lenny Kravitz, Tom Petty, and Slash.
