Yep! That and it helps you learn the gear, sound itself (though I have a good grasp of that given my professional and educational background), and a million and one other things. Helps you hear better as well and make more informed decisions at all stages of the recording process. Really worth its weight in gold, superb book.
I dont have that one, no. I'll look into it! I also got a book on mastering, but it hasnt arived yet.
And thanks again for the kind words on Memento Mori.
Doc, I partly know what you mean. It doesnt have the fun element and immediate gratification that just grabbing a guitar and doing whatever you do with it does. I find myself at the start of a recording feeling like I'm staring up everest, knowing how much work it is (to get a decent job done, and doubly so if you arent just going through the motions, repeating whats worked for you before - every time I embark on it I try to use new things I've learned and make a better job than the last). But the results are so satisfying, its well worth it. To me at least.
And thanks. Its a fantastic guitar!
