Fundamentals of Audio Production

Fundamentals of Audio Production covers the entire range of audio production fields, giving special attention to digital techniques and to clear explanations of technical subjects. Fundamentals of Audio Production is a comprehensive text, covering the entire spectrum of audio production activities, with particular attention to digital production techniques, which are a predominant part of this continually expanding and evolving field. Sections of the text are devoted to the recording studio, radio, audio for video, post production, field production, and live sound reinforcement. This is an up-to-date treatment, emphasizing and focusing on the technologies that have revolutionized audio production over the past decade. As a team, these three authors bring professional specialization and experience to provide breadth and depthFrom the Back CoverFundamentals of Audio Production, 1/eDrew O.

Individual sections of the text provide clear, detailed explanations of the recording studio, radio, audio for video, post production, field production, and live sound reinforcement. The author team brings to the text a diversity of professional specializations to provide a truly comprehensive overview of the audio production field.Features: CD with audio samples that connect graphs and technical descriptions with the actual resulting sounds. Digital workstation sections familiarize students with the latest technology and production techniques. In-depth treatment of audio field production covers music recordings, film sound, remote radio production, and live sound reinforcement. Intuitive presentation of material lets students move to a discussion of equipment only after grasping basic principles of the physics of sound and audio.Reviewer Quotations:"The authors do a good job of explaining the purpose of editing before getting into the mechanics of computer-based systems. That's a good approach because students need to have at least a basic understanding of the process before undertaking a project." - C. Collin Pillow, Arkansas State University"I like the 'not-so in-depth' approach of the authors...all things considered, it's straightforward, to the point, and readable." -- Sam Lovato, Colorado State University
