About this title

Synopsis

The authors decode the audio component of multimedia computers and the Web for fellow webmasters and musicians: converting analog sound waves into digital files, compressing audio files, embedding sound in Web pages, even setting up a digital audio recording studio. Sample sound files and demos on the companion Windows and Mac-compatible CD-ROM amplify the offering. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
