Synopsis:

Provides a thorough overview of audio post-production theory and technique. It is a good introduction for beginners and has enough technical depth to suit practicing professionals, whether in small production houses or larger facilities. Equipment and processes are illustrated with explanatory diagrams throughout, and supported by a straightforward narrative divided into manageable and logical sections.

Computer and digital audio recording have radically changed the audio post-production industry over the past few years. This new and moderately priced technology has increased opportunities for those with even just a basic knowledge of sound and limited equipment to produce high quality results.

This second edition has been completely rewritten to include the very latest techniques in:
· digital audio
· new computer equipment and workstations
· recording and sound editing
· new transmission methods and standards and formats such as DVD.
