Hal Leonard Published BEHIND THE GLASS Volume II

May 20, 2009

Written by famed music journalist Howard Massey, the original Behind The Glass has earned wide acclaim in the recording community for the author's skill in coaxing revealing first-person stories from inside the studio trenches out of music's most celebrated hit-making producers. The book has gone on to find an eager audience as part of the core curriculum of most major audio and recording schools worldwide. Now Massey is back with a follow up that stands alongside the first volume while providing a roadmap for what lies ahead in the control rooms and on the consoles of studios from New York to Nashville to LA to London and beyond.

This companion volume—an essential read for both veteran and aspiring producers—features over 40 all-new, exclusive in-depth interviews with many of the world's top producers and engineers. The host of topics ranges from the future of digital platforms to commanding the right vocal inflections out of Amy Winehouse; from capturing the perfect amount of low end to the current state of the music industry. Massey's interviews mix practical advice on the day-to-day minutia of recording sessions with more esoteric philosophical concepts that any good engineer should keep in mind.

Forefathers such as Bruce Swedien, Daniel Lanois, and T-Bone Burnett share their studio-tested secrets on how to craft their signature sounds while the next generation of young upstart hit-makers, guys like Mark Ronson, Darryl Swann, and Patrick Stump, talk shop about current techniques and where we are headed.

Howard Massey is a veteran music journalist and recording engineer and producer. Massey has worked in the world's top studios recording with Elvis Costello, Thomas Dolby, Kraftwerk and numerous others. He currently lives in Woodstock, NY.
