At their worst, these problems can become public nightmares when playing out in a club or in front of an A&R scout from a major record label! Help is at hand however, as this book explains electronics to musicians, DJs, and sound engineers in a comprehensive yet easy-to-understand way. From eliminating buzz to replacing electronics, this is a book of solid tips to prevent equipment meltdowns! These are step-by-step, straight-forward explanations of highly practical and useful elements of electronic theory that will keep you and your instrument in good condition longer. With over 111 illustrations that cement and reinforce the author?s points, this book shows musicians how to prevent problems and fix them when things do go wrong.
