Whether you need to know how to capture that authentic jazz sound in one take, or you want to lay down a slicing hip-hop beat, How To Get The Sound You Want - now in a fully updated second edition – has the answers, covering miking arrangements, sequencer patterns and recording techniques. Suitable for both Mac and PC.
