40: Recording Music on Location: Capturing the Live Performance, Bruce Bartlett, Jenny Bartlett

Some of my friends play in a New Orleans jazz band and we've talked about making a live recording. I know nothing about recording, and this book was recommended on Amazon and some audio fora. It's not all I hoped it would be, and I may have to invest in a more encyclopaedic work, but it's a fair start if you're as clueless as I was.

You can get most of the information it covers on the web, but not all in one place. Conclusion: not a total loss, but not worth the nearly $30 it cost me.

Listening to: The Beatles in mono.
Thinking about: digging up my CD binder from some box in the garage and pulling out Live at the BBC.
