From Library Journal
Much more than a guide to recording MP3s on CD-ROM, this guide addresses how to build a home studio with audio software and get the best sound out of one's voice, guitar, drums, keyboard, etc. A home recording artist and software architect, Milstead excels at explaining recording, mixing, and promoting music online. His potential audience is very wide both amateur and professional musicians as well as adventurous computer users will find that he hits all the right notes. Although much of this information is available on the web for free, Milstead does a great job of wrapping it all together. Recommended.
