Review:

"AUDIO IN MEDIA is the most complete and thorough audio-production textbook on the market today. It has been for many years. I have never found any textbook that can compete with it."

"Audio in Media speaks to the students as audio professionals and exposes them to the terminology and language they can expect in media-production industries, and from audio-production professionals, publications and equipment vendors."
