Reviews for The Art of Digital Audio Recording. A Practical Guide for Home and Studio.
Steve Savage is the best - his mellow, positive personality makes him a pleasure to work with. I'm very happy with the two projects we've done together. He's very together in the studio, and with Steve there are no technical problems to interrupt the flow of the music making. He's a smart guy and his musical opinions are solid. I'm glad he wrote this book.
Elvin Bishop, legendary recording artist
Savage succinctly sums up the digital do's and don'ts, ties the techniques and terminology back to their analog roots and relates it all to the needs of the music and musicians. Great book.
Richard James Burgess Ph.D., author of The Art of Record Production and The Art of Music Production
Steve Savage's combination of industry and academic experience give this book the huge advantage of bringing together the rigor of his research and theoretical knowledge with his practical grounding in the technicalities, social dynamics, and psychology of how the recording process works. I loved it.
Simon Zagorski-Thomas, Chairman of the Association for the Study of the Art of Record Production and Director of the Art of Record Production Conference
Savage's book reads like a conversation with an elder craftsman, providing a practical and thoroughly comprehensive introduction to the processes and considerations of today's recording environments...It's refreshing to find an author in the recording industry that continually keeps the focus on the major priorities and gives a solid presentation of how a student should begin developing their paradigm of audio recording. Any instructor of music production would be well advised to add The Art of Digital Audio Recording to their short list of essential texts to prepare their students for the technical choices, and creative opportunities, that await them.
