“Recording music at home doesn’t have to be rocket science, although sometimes it can seems that way. At the very root of all music recording, it has to be fun. You need to enjoy what you’re doing, see results as you go, and eliminate as much frustration in the process as you can. That’s what Shane helps us do, in this book. He breaks recording down in terms one can understand and simplifies the process so you can feel confident in creating your own great-quality home recordings.”

“As an artist, too often I find the ‘how to do something’ getting in the way of creating. This is especially true as I move from writing a song to the important step of producing and recording it. In those moments, I go from inspired to feeling lost, unable to navigate the complex route from idea to final product. For years, I longed for a gentle, confident voice to guide me on the path most suited to my style of song creation. Shane Adams is that wise voice—truly an Obi-Wan of music production.”
—Bruce Vaughn, Chief Creative Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering
