The Recording Engineer's Handbook 5th Edition Paperback – March 15, 2023

Well written from many years of experience in the recording industry. Essential for any library.

Bought 5th edition after owning 4th edition, both for Kindle. The written content is good, but for some reason, there are a whole bunch of photos and diagrams missing from the book that show up only as a blurry red “X”. There are dozens of these throughout the book. Some missing images are just supposed to be equipment photos, but others are diagrams to illustrate key concepts from the text. This was not a problem with the 4th edition.UPDATE: Missing images finally fixed! Excellent book!

This is not just a pamphlet. This is a big heavy book full of hard earned wisdom, honestly passed along for us amateurs to enjoy.

This book is very well written and organized. Even just the first section alone - on microphones - is filled with well explained details and information that I had not previously found in all my googling on the topic.Super helpful book written by a very experienced recording and mixing engineer.

This book helped remove for me a lot of mystery around recording. There is a lot of useful material for me to start experimenting in my home studio.Unfortunately, this Kindle version is missing several of the figures and photos, which was somewhat disappointing. Hopefully, this can be fixed somehow.

Bobby Owsinski's books are always a sure thing from one of the preeminent Engineers in the recording industry. They are the reference "go to" books and written so that the concept is easily understood. I have the hard copy of this book and also bought the digital version for it's convenience.

Great book has every thing you need to know about recording and modern ways, Highly recommend, Thanks Bobby for all efforts you put to it to help us to make a great music.

Spectacular engineering techniques for everything you need to know about recording! Bobby is a real master!

For many, this is considered the go-to book on recording. Used as a text book in training programs and at home on the shelves of countless studios. It is one of a couple of books that I would highly recommend for anyone interested in learning more.

Muchísima información respecto a micrófonos, su posición, cómo microfonear cada instrumento, grabación, consejos... Detalladísimo. Una auténtica gozada de libro! Muy interesantes además las entrevistas a distintos ingenieros de sonido en la última parte del libro.

As I am currently studying for a degree in Audio engineering I think this book is a great asset to my studying. I really do recommend this book it's easy to understand and illustrated well

Disappointed, vary basic for the price

Very clear and useful. There are other than go deeper, but it's a good manual for everyone
