"The Studio Builder's Handbook" - Alfred Publishing

No matter how good your recording gear is, chances are you're not getting the best possible sound because of the deficiencies of your room. While you might think that it costs thousands of dollars and the services of an acoustic designer to improve your studio, "The Studio Builder's Handbook" will strip away the mystery of what makes a great sounding studio and show how you can make a huge difference in your room for as little as $150. The Studio Builder's Handbook also features interviews with expert contractors, studio designers, producers and engineers that give you a look into their personal studio building experiences. As a bonus, an accompanying DVD provides a look at the actual construction of acoustic panels and bass traps, as well as a guided tour by a studio builder.
