| Abstract | This book solves a problem every musician, soundtech, or DJ has run into at one time or another: faulty music equipment. No matter if you're a singer/songwriter, a sound reinforcement engineer, a church sound system installer, DJ, or home-studio operator, you need to keep your equipment running perfectly, know when a problem is occurring, learn to fix glitches, and realize when they're too big for you to handle on your own. |
