Description

Gain a deep understanding of audio practice and theory with this easy-to-read book, illustrated with more than 400 figures and photographs. Using common sense, plain-English explanations and minimal math, author Ethan Winer helps you understand audio at the deepest, most technical level-no engineering degree necessary.


If you're an intermediate to advanced recording engineer or audiophile, you already know the basic mechanics of how audio ´works.´ This book will take you beyond that, weaving together audio concepts, theories of aural perception and acoustics, musical instrument physics, and basic electronics and demonstrating their relationships to one another.


Rather than merely showing you how to use audio devices like equalizers and compressors, Winer explains how they work internally and how they are spec´d and tested.


With The Audio Expert, you get:

* Videos and audio examples on the companion website (www.TheAudioExpertBook.com) that help you understand complex topics, such as vibration and resonance
* Platform agnostic explanations, applying to Windows and Mac operating systems, and to most software and hardware
* Practical tips, tricks, advice, and lots of myth-busting

Bonus chapters are currently available on FocalPress.com.
