Product Details

Product Description

Review

"It is rare to find a reference book that you do not want to stop reading, but The Audio Dictionary fits that description... Each definition, from absolute pitch to zero reference, is actually a mini-article with concise yet thorough explanations that are easy for non-specialists to understand." Music Educators Journal


Product Description

The Audio Dictionary is a comprehensive resource, including historical, obsolete, and obscure as well as contemporary terms relating to diverse aspects of audio such as film and TV sound, recording, Hi-Fi, and acoustics. The Third Edition includes four hundred new entries, such as AAC (advanced audio coding), lip synch, metadata, MP3, and satellite radio. Every term from previous editions has been reconsidered and often rewritten. Guest entries are by Dennis Bohn, cofounder and head of research and development at Rane Corporation, and film sound expert Larry Blake, whose credits include Erin Brockovich and Ocean's Eleven. The appendixes - tutorials that gather a lifetime's worth of experience in acoustics - include both new and greatly expanded articles.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A Must Have", Jul 10 2001
By Chikako Oku "neotrad" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Audio Dictionary (Paperback)
I was a total beginner of sound engineering field when I bought this book. And this handy book helped me alot because I could find any technical terms I wanted to know in it and the definitions there are clear enough to understand even though I'm not a native English speaker. So, I recommend you to have this if you're beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent addition to your Sound Library
I have found this book to be especially handy in finding definitions to audio terms that are virtually impossible to find even in expensive Sound recording text books.

5.0 out of 5 stars You have questions? This book has answers.
This is the first book off my shelf whenever I have a question about any aspect of audio. Occasionaly, I find that an entry I expect to see is not there, but that is rare. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must!
If there is anything in audio you need a quick but thorough explanation of, this book is the answer. A wonderful addition to any library.
