The Recording Engineer

This book is for the recording engineer who knows what a compressor or

limiter or equalizer does. He wants to know the tried and true methods of

using all of the equipment presently available.

The recording engineer is responsible for keeping the session running

smoothly, including setting up the control room, choosing the micro-

phones, organizing the signal flow, choosing the track layout, getting the

sounds, and pressing the record button. Good sounds or bad, the buck

stops with the recording engineer.
