this book?
If so, is it good? There are very few reviews on it so I thought I'd see what you all thought.

I noticed it comes with a CD. What's on it. I was browsing and it looks like it might be things like "this is tape saturation" or whatever. Is that about right? I'm not on the fence, but I'm not very educated yet. So I wonder if it would be a good addition to my library. Thanks for the feedback.It has great interviews and comes with a CD. I say it's a great read for those sitting on the analog fence!
I suppose you could use a 38, which would be the same track width as a 1/4 track stereo deck.
This isn't right, is it?
A 1/4" stereo deck will give you 1/8" per track.
But the 38, which is a 1/2" 8-track deck, will only give you 1/16" per track.
Right?
and he describes how he built his own reverb chamber in his basement home studio!
I have my eye on this book also.
But....If you want an excellent book in my opinion,get this one.Even though the examples are geared towards cassette portastudios,it can be applied to other formats.Its helping me along with my 388 reel deck.Its a big book too with lots of cool techniques.I got mine brand new off Ebay for $9.

is that if you record tracks 1-4 as a left channel and 5-8 as a right channel you would have a half inch stereo master. But as Beck states, this isn't really correct and that is because of the gaps between each head.
The CD has demos of the authors and some audio examples. I think it's a fun read.
I haven't read that one, but I have his earlier one (I think it's earlier) called "Musican's Guide to Home Recording," which I've used as a reference over the years.
Does this one come with a CD or anything demonstrating the concepts?

>>>Ohhhhhhhh I get it.
Hmm ... yeah that doesn't seem the same to me, because you wouldn't have two tracks recorded on a 1/4" of tape each. You'd have one track recorded on four 1/16" sections of tape and another track recorded on four other 1/16" sections of tape. That's totally different.
