Chasing Sound: Technology, Culture, and the Art of Studio Recording from Edison to the LP by Susan Schmidt Horning

informative medium-paced

5.0

An academic effort which offers freshly-researched details about the evolution of studio recording. I have read a fair fe books in and around this topic and we get a very sizable chunk of info here that I've never seen elsewhere. An excellent historical examination of a subject near and dear to me.
