This series has been derived from the mind of a master recording and mixing engineer and his experiences through learning and application of the recording arts. The title, "Zengineer Scrolls" could have easily been replaced with the name, The Philosophy of Recording", because it not only provides factual information to guide the reader in recording techniques but also serves as a means to providing a light to the path of how to be a master at the craft. When one begins reading these materials they will almost immediately realize they are looking through the eyes of a master so as to become that master. Instead of being a collection of memorization tools it is a visualization of invaluable experience where every word counts as a step in the "Zen" direction of being. One will not even want to bypass the introduction as the key to this reservoir of knowledge begins there and pours tons of information into the readers view. So the series, beginning with the first collection of four scrolls, is not about "how to" but "how to be" instead. Yet there's a journey and not a series of tasks. Prepare to dive into an ocean of knowledge between these covers and when you reach the bottom discover the mother of pearl within yourself. Arise as an engineer master; Zengineer!
