Customer Reviews
This book fell way short.
This book is more about pointing out the obvious. I had high hopes that bobby was going to go into some of the techniques employed by the engineers so I could understand how they got their sound. But it falls way short for me. I will not look near this book again as for me it’s a waste of money.
