About this title

Synopsis

New

From the Publisher

Following feedback from delegates to the author's very successful series of seminars and training courses, a completely new chapter has been added which introduces readers to basic audio principles - before leading them into essential digital principles and the more complex material covered in later chapters.

A completely new chapter on Sound Quality Considerations has also been added. More has been included on: audio in PCs; internet audio; DVD; compression/MPEG. What has not changed is the approach. Every subject is explained from first principles, because if the mechanism is understood it can be applied to many problems. This is an introductory book, a theory book, an applications book and a reference book all in one.
