If, as this book claims, is a beginner’s guide offering a nontechnical approach, than I am the Queen of England.

If this book is truly for beginners, it would avoid sentences like “There are two parallel signal strengths, channel and monitor. In the I/O section, equalization and other signal processing can be delegated to the monitor system for auditioning without effecting the signal being sent to the multitrack recorder, or the signal can be sent to multitrack recorder, or both.” Sure.
The editors at Wadsworth should have caught this, but my guess is no editor ever read it. Expensive and frustrating.
