Audio Production and Critical Listening (Audio Engineering Society Presents) 2nd Edition

This is the new standard for a reason. Great, great reference and training material.

I own dozens, if not hundreds of books on audio in one fashion or another. This includes many of the most well known ones like Douglas Self books, Forrest Mims, Art of Electronics, Art of Digital Audio, etc. etc.Well, this book isn't like any of the other ones I own that deal with audio. This breaks semi-complicated concepts down in a professional manner to help you not only understand the lingo, but also how to train your ears to become a better listener of music and movies. Also included is a website where you can quite literally train your ears as you follow along with the instruction of the author.I write audio hardware reviews and technical articles on my website HallmanLabs.com. This book is in the top 10 of books I have come back to the most for reference or research.Highly recommended and worth the cost of admission! This is probably one of the only books out there that can improve both your technical writing ability and listening skills!!I hope to see another from this author at some point.

This book should be understood front to back by every engineer working today…

VERY GOOD BOOK OF AN EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE CONTENTS !

Great book

This is actually a wealthy book of knowledge and well-thought out explanations. It's probably the reason it might be chosen as a text book, perhaps. I highly recommend every audio engineer read this book, especially if you're fairly new to the industry. My only gripe is the price. It's absurdly overpriced for the content inside. You can easily locate YouTube videos to explain much, if not more than the information in a more digestive and functional way. Perhaps the publisher will consider a third edition at a lower price and accessible software content in the near future.For the software, it appears you either must purchase the book from Routledge directly to gain access (?), or they just don't have links to it (broken).Again, a great book, but insanely expensive for the content provided.

This is what I needed for class.

The internet site link does not work & the publisher does not respond when using tgeir contact form. If you are looking to use the book as an interactive tool, don't bother. I won't buy from this publisher again.
