Description
Making decisions about how and when to apply sound processing effects and recording techniques can make or break your song mix. The
decisions you make come down to your listening skills – what you hear and how you perceive it. Your ability to properly discern sound,
identify a problem, and act accordingly – especially when the decision often needs to be made quickly – makes all the difference to the
success of the final track.
Audio Production and Critical Listening develops your critical and expert listening skills,
enabling you to listen to audio like an award-winning engineer. The interactive "ear training" software practice modules give you experience
identifying various types of signal processes and manipulation – EQ, dynamics, reverb, distortion, delay, etc. The software sits alongside
the clear and detailed explanations in the book, offering a complete learning package that will help you train your ears to listen and
really "hear" your recordings.
Audience
Undergraduate students in sound recording, music production, music technology, audio engineering.
Aspiring recording engineers, live sound engineers, equipment designers, acoustical consultants
