Basic Home Studio Design (The Basic Series) (ISBN 1860742726)

simple, perfect:
...just enough information. I'm busy, man, so are you - you are a project musician trying to build a project studio, probably wondering to yourself how in the world owens corning 703 can be so difficult to find...you need a book with simple diagrams, simple language to tell you what you need to know. If you are building a room for bob clearmountain, then this ain't for you- if you are like the rest of the 99% of us just trying to fit a studio into your exisiting space on a budget- I think that this is the way to go....

Glad it was cheap:
This book is nothing like I expected. It's more about actually building a studio in your home as opposed to modifying things to coexist with a studio. It's from the UK, so some of the terminology is a little different, and parts are very technical.I guess I was looking for "Home Studios for Idiots", and this ain't it! This might be good if you have more room-time-money, than I do.

Too "basic" ...:
Not enough graphics, seems to talk from theory not experience, huge glossary but no UK-US terms translation, missing detail drawings when describing soundproofing assemblies - one nail or screw in the wrong place and it will not work. Some concepts are plain wrong or badly described. Read with caution!

Simple Introduction:
This is a good book for someone who knows nothing about soundproofing, the lingo to go along with it, and acoustics. It is a very fast read and provides a glossary with quite a few terms. There is also a section on studio wiring that is simply there for some reason or another. This is a very beginner book but does what its name suggests: basic introduction. It is unlikely for someone to get confused with this book. It will simply get one affiliated with the terms and common outlook of acoustics and soundproofing. I recommend this for all beginners.

Its not the best but....:
So far my only gripe is that is a minature book. I was expecting a regular sized book to read, and didnt know it was a pocket book. It appears to be very informal.
