This book is a MUST HAVE!

I received this book yesterday and have had the opportunity to read three chapters so far. Although I have been through many aspects of the music business over a 13 year period, I have never learned as much in one sitting as I have already with this book.For anyone entering or managing the commercial end of audio recording/producing, this book is a MUST HAVE! To me, it is worth a thousand times its weight in gold, if not a million times its weight in platinum. With this book, you can learn how to start up your studio, and operate it successfully and profitably. You can learn how to increase your revenue potential, save money, time and major headaches, make wise spending choices, effectively network, and see your studio through its rough times, to name a few. And you learn it from one of the world's most successful studio managers, the founder of the legendary Record Plant in Los Angeles, California.Not for the faint of heart.Harold Galcso Superfastlane Entertainment ... I am in no way professionally affiliated with the author or publisher of this material, though I would be if I could be.

Good Business Sense!

It is a complete study of the various facets of the industry, and if you are a teacher, you can receive a lesson plan for the book.Mr. Stone's understanding of what it takes to run a for-profit recording studio will attract neophytes and industry veterans alike.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about audio recording. It is a great reference book as well as great reading.
