The book covers every aspect of sound recording, both technological and operational techniques, from the studio through to the final product. Each of the authors is an expert in his field. The book is both practical and up-to-date. This fourth edition has been comprehensively updated to take account of the many rapid advances in recording techniques, computer-controlled equipment, new digital recording formats, and the proliferation of consumer audio/video media. Radio and T.V. broadcasting are covered from the sound recording point of view, as are video and film.
