Overview
Designed with the student in mind, information is organized according to level of difficulty. An understanding of the basic principles is essential to anyone wishing to make successful recordings therefore chapters are split into two parts: the first introducing the basic theories in a non-technical way; the second dealing with the subject more in depth. Key facts are clearly identified in separate boxes and further information for the more advanced reader is indicated in shaded boxes. In addition, questions are provided (with answers supplied at the end of the book) as a teaching and learning aid.Author Biography: Freelance audio consultant and technical writer. He is a former audio engineer trainer at BBC Wood Norton.
Audience: Students on introductory sound/audio engineering courses, including City & Guilds Sound Engineering 1820 Part 1 exams.
Editorials
From the Publisher
"In all, the book promotes a good understanding of the principles and precesses involved with recording or reproducing audio, in a well written manner by an author who has obviously trodden the road many times."Lighting & Sound
'I highly recommend this book to students preparing for Part 1 of the City & Guilds programme in Sound Engineering (1820).'
John Mizzi
Reviews of the previous edition:
'...a light, informative and well-crafted book.'
A teacher of sound recording
'This is one of those books that tells you a little more than you thought you knew, even if you thought you knew quite a bit! There are also some good sections where the author politely and effectively debunks possible preconceptions that readers might have...Recommended.'
