Behind the Glass: Top Record Producers Tell How They Craft the Hits Customer Review: Beware - book extremely dull.
I was very excited when the book popped through my letterbox and couldn’t wait to get stuck in, but to be brutally honest, it is dull as dishwater. Although the people interviewed are undoubtedly fantastically inspirational producers, the interviews reveal mostly “well it depends on the song” type answers which reveal very little about technique or approach. There are a few genuine insights, but mostly it is extremely general advice and nothing you don’t get in any studio based magazine - but in much more palatable doses. It also feels out-of-date to me - so much has happened since 2000. So to sum up, save the money for a new microphone or two and spend the reading time in the studio.
Customer Review: Fantastic
A work of collected wisdom which is insightful, fascinating and inspiring. If you are into recording music of any kind I can’t recommend it highly enough.
