Behind
the Glass - Record producers tell how they craft the
hits!
In
this prime collection of first-hand interviews, 37 of
the world's top record producers share their creative
secrets and hit-making techniques from the practical
to the artistic. George Martin reveals the technical
and musical challenges of working with The Beatles,
while Phil Ramone, producer for such artists as Billy
Joel, discusses studio wall treatments. Offering real-world
advice on everything from mics to mixing to coaching
a nervous singer, producers interviewed include Arif
Mardin (Aretha Franklin), Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys),
Alan Parsons (Pink Floyd) and more.

Reviews by industry pro's:
"The producers featured have made key contributions...music-business
professionals and fans alike should find their observations
invaluable."
"Insightful
overviews of the creative and technical process of sound
recording."
Reviewer:
Brian Cottrill say's:
This
is one of the best recording books I've ever found.
Great interviews with most of the world's top record
producers and engineers. Anyone on any will learn and
be entertained by this book. It gives insight into recording,
mixing and the music business. I don't read many books
and I never read them twice. I'm in the middle of reading
this book for the third time. My only complaint is that
some heros are left out (Jimmy Iovine, T-Bone Burnett,
Chris Thomas), but it's still incredible how many star
producers and engineers are here!
Reviewer: Jorge Oter say's:
This
booked is really packed with insight from the best people
in the business. What surprised me the most is the sheer
amount of knowledge: unlike similar books (like "The
Mixing Engineer's Handbook"), it's printed in "smallish"
type (i.e. like a novel) and the page margins are "normal"
too, so you really get your 328 pages of useful information.
The interviews are also very entertaining, with very
intelligent questions and answers. It's the closest
you will be to having a face-to-face chat with the likes
of George Martin and Brian Wilson. The amount of interviews
is staggering too. If you are thinking of buying this
book - you really can't live without it!
Reviewer: A reader from Brazil say's:
Forget
every other book. This is the only you'll ever need.
