Craig Anderton's Home Recording for Musicians

Tweak writes: This is the classic book on setting up a home studio, revised in 1996.  Craig Anderton was the original editor-in-chief of Electronic Musician Magazine (and still does the back page column for Keyboard.)  While this book is a bit light on MIDI and digital audio stuff, it covers all the 'core stuff'  the beginning home recordist needs to know with lots of pictures and its a breeze to read.  Link to read more about this book and Order  it at Amazon.com
