the word "Instrumentation" in the book's title. Sorry - I don't think it
will be of interest at all.


Copying and pasting is like driving with a satellite navigation device.
It might be quicker, but you really stop noticing where you're going.


There's a BBC Engineering Training Department book on tape recording by
Percy J Guy which was the UK industry standard for many a year. Originally
written in the '50s, it may or may not have been updated to take in things
like Dolby. But a good read anyway for anyone interested in such things. I
thought I had a copy somewhere - but can't find it.


Yes. The BBC manuals were good.
But are they available outside the BBC?

I would recommend "The Recording Studio Handbook" by
John M. Woram. (Sagamore Publishing) ISBN 0-914130-01-3
