The Audio Expert is a comprehensive reference book covering all
aspects of audio, with both practical and theoretical explanations.
It is written for people who want to understand audio at the
deepest, most technical level, but without needing an engineering
degree. The Audio Expert explains how audio really works in much
more depth than usual, using common sense plain-English
explanations and mechanical analogies, with minimal math. It uses
an easy to read conversational tone, and includes more than 400
figures and photos to augment the printed text. However, this book
goes beyond merely explaining how audio works. It brings together
the concepts of audio, aural perception, musical instrument
physics, acoustics, and basic electronics, showing how they're
intimately related. It also describes in great detail many
practices and techniques used by recording and mixing engineers,
including video production and computers. This book is meant for
intermediate to advanced recording engineers and audiophiles who
want to become experts. There's plenty for beginners too. One
unique feature is explaining how audio devices such as equalizers,
compressors, and A/D converters work internally, and how they're
spec'd and tested, rather than merely describing how to use them.
There's plenty of myth-busting and consumerism too. The book
doesn't tell readers what brand power amplifier to buy, but it
explains in great detail what defines a good amplifier so people
can choose a first-rate model wisely without over-paying. Most
explanations throughout the book are platform-agnostic, applying
equally to Windows and Mac computers, and to most software and
hardware. Many audio and video examples are included to enhance the
written text. The new edition offers many updates and improvements
throughout. New sections on coding an equalizer, comparing
microphone preamps, testing results of loudspeaker isolation
devices, new online video content on music theory, plus
incorporated chapters on MIDI basics, computers, video production,
plus new myth-busters, and much more!
