The content within the interviews reflect the personality of the person being interviewed, which makes for a great balance between those that love techspeak and those that need to understand the soft skills involved in capturing killer performances by artists. Topics covered include the differences between US based engineers and producers vs. their UK counterparts (the latter prefers to print effects to tape directly if things are working.) Another set of questions the interviewer regularly asks are related to project/home studios and the comparisons between the those environments vs high end studios. The responses are candid and enlightening.If I could sum up best info in the book is that ALL of the interviewees restate the same thing- there are tons of variables but critical to great recording results falls mostly to good mics and the use of dedicated mic pre amps.Other takeaways:- Rooms obviously color the flavor of the recording- Mic placement varies as much as the choices of mics- Digital vs. analog debate still continues, but good recordings fundamentally result from choosing technologies that you believe are the magic sauce to laying good tracks and understanding their weaknesses to compensate accordingly- Capturing a great performance is far more important than technically perfect recordingsThis is another book that provides more fuel for your gas tank! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This is an amazing book. *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2012* If you're anything like me, you've been searching for that elusive pro sound, but even with the advanced tools available in programs like Pro Tools and Studio One, your mixes still seem to come up short. You've probably tried every trick in the book; parallel compression, parametric equalization, multi-band compression, side-chain manipulation, M/S encoding, double-vocals, double-guitars, and on and on....This book and its' sequel will open the floodgates. You'll see that some producers don't use any tricks at all, while others use enough gear and plug-ins to power a spaceship. Some producers do their own engineering while others couldn't even tell you what a decibel is, but they all have one thing in common; THEY DON'T USUALLY CREATE THE SOUND, THEY CAPTURE AND MANIPULATE WHAT IS ALREADY THERE!!Here's the dirty little secret; there are very few magical, fix-it-in-the-mix tricks, and your gear/plug-ins will only take you so far. Whatever you record, it has to sound good before you record it. These guys focus on the material, the performers, the performance, the arrangement, the quality of the sound, microphone selection and placement, which amp to use etc... THE MIX IS DEAD LAST. When properly arranged, performed, and recorded, most songs practically mix themselves!!Many of us don't want to hear that, hoping instead for a list of magical EQ frequencies, or FX chains, that will somehow turn lead into gold, but there is no such thing. What this book (and its' sequel) offers you is this; a look into the minds, philosophies, and thought processes that go into capturing and producing pro-quality music. There are plenty of books which reveal mixing "secrets" and "tricks", and those certainly have their value, but there are far more important things to consider, and these books deliver.Think about this, if those mixing "tricks" are so important, then how come so many producers don't use them at all (or very little)? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Must-read for the Aspiring Producer, despite some technical references being out-dated. *by T***H on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2016* This book is AWESOME. It's written around the turn of the century, so a lot of the technological references to DAT's, etc., are out of date (Howard Massey would do well to publish a new edition.) However, the amount of wisdom and experience that is shared from a broad range of the greatest producers of all time makes it a must-read for any aspiring producer or engineer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/4262627-behind-the-glass-top-record-producers-tell-how-they-craft](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/4262627-behind-the-glass-top-record-producers-tell-how-they-craft) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
