Once you've learned how to use microphones and mixers (Book 1), and to
record instruments and vocals (Book 2), discover how to get the most out
of your recording software and plug-ins in Book 3 of the Hal Leonard
Recording Method. In addition to providing valuable insights into the
functionalities, feature, and capabilities of these modern recording
tools, it covers the basics of digital recording in a very
straightforward and focused manner. Also included are informative
interviews with several power users who share the ways they put
technology to work in their recordings and productions. This provides a
valuable balance of practical insights and insider tips and tricks,
making Recording Software & Plug-ins a powerful resource. This book and
DVD use detailed illustrations and screen shots, plus audio and video
examples, to give you a comprehensive understanding of recording
software and plug-ins. New in this edition: -Extensive use of QR Codes,
which link directly to associated websites and resources via your smart
devices' QR Code readers. This expands the content of the book far
beyond the printed page. -New and updated media examples included
wherever appropriate. -Some classic concepts remain the same from the
first edition but considering that virtually everything about software
and plug-ins has changed in some way since the first edition was written
in 2007, there's a lot of new material! -Covers techniques and
considerations regarding current versions of DAW software, plug-ins and
many of the great new tools available. -A lot of new techniques are
explained that have been added to the tool kit in the last five years.
Page count went from 268 to 290 and a lot of material had to be cut from
the first edition and completely rewritten. -A major rewrite and with a
more tightly packed layout and an almost 10 percent increase in page
count.
