Everything You Need to Know About Audio

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This newly updated third edition of The Audio Expert offers a comprehensive reference book that covers all aspects of audio. The book includes both practical and theoretical explanations, using common sense plain-English explanations and mechanical analogies, with minimal math.

Written for people who want to understand audio at a technical level without needing an engineering degree, it uses an easy-to-read conversational tone as well as more than 400 figures and photos to augment the printed text. Thoroughly revised, the third edition includes updated terminology for clarity and accuracy, refreshed topics that reflect modern workflows, practices and research, and new sections covering topics such as audio myth-busting. Bringing together the concepts of audio, aural perception, musical instrument physics, acoustics, and basic electronics to demonstrate how they're intimately related, this book describes in detail many of the practices and techniques used by recording and mixing engineers.

The Audio Expert is the ideal resource for intermediate to advanced sound engineers and audiophiles who want to become experts, as well as offering plenty for beginners too.

Rezensionen

"Winer has made his own experiments on many topics and shows measurements for many of these. Very laudable. ... All in all, this is a very useful reference book." - AES Journal
