Audio: The Sound of Our World

There have been many books written on the subject of audio. Some have been written from an overtly technical perspective, focusing upon the physics of audio recording and reproduction. Some have focused purely upon acoustics. Yet more have been written to cover the use of a particular piece of software or a particular recording environment. While all of these books are useful, in one way or another, they do little to help create a broader perspective upon the world of audio and how to capture a given moment in time using the technology that is now available to us. This book however is different. It immerses the reader in the world of sound, creating that broader perspective from where intelligent discussion may develop. Naturally, it covers the history of recorded sound and moves on to examine the processes of recording sound in the modern world. It is a book, first and foremost, for musicians and music lovers and all those who appreciate art. It is, for them, also a technical guide, written in a language that they might easily understand, without disappearing into jargon and academic theory. Mostly, it is an audio book to enjoy.
