This is invaluable if you are teaching Sound Recording at GCSE or BTEC or RSL level and you haven't had to do much music technology before (like me!). I really appreciate the fact it is broken down into chunks for learning and teaching. The only aspect that is a little frustrating is that some of the bullet points assume you know how to address the context of that point - as a teacher perhaps - and they are written in short/abbreviated sentences so it would be even better if there was no assumption at all and perhaps a little more visually pleasing in the mixing guide?? Not everyone will need this though as many will have more knowledge already and this will then provide an excellent teaching resource saving oodles of time! Well worth the money.
