Customer Reviews

Technical or NOT technical tips on good sound!

I received a copy of this book when I was preparing the curriculum for a college course I taught as an adjunct professor for two years. I believe it gave my students not only a good classroom study book, but also a useful reference book for the "real-world" after graduation! Scott Stark gives great rule-of-thumb knowledge, as well as deeper technical fundamentals behind the knob turning and fader moving decisions that every sound engineer will face at the helm of a live sound reinforcement system, no matter whether for 100 or 100,000 listeners!

Definitive Handbook on Learning to do Sound

I've used this book myself and have been referred to it by the best sound guys around. Great for beginners wanting to get a handle on how a sound system works from power amps, pre-amps, microphone differences to why feedback happens and how to stop it, and lots of other practical advice on how to mix live sound. Good for more advanced sound people who want to advance their skills.

What A Book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is exactly what I was looking for when I was trying to improve my knowledge of sound reinforcement. This edition is the hardcover textbook and so it is a little more than the paperback but what really makes it worth the asking price is the bonus DVD. I really endorse this book for anyone needing to expand their knowledge of sound reinforcement.

The title says it all

I am not a very technical oriented person but this books talks to you in plain english not "techie" like most books do. It also doen't assume you know everything so it starts off at the beginnig basics of sound and it builds from there to more complex ideas and concepts. If you have never run live sound or run sound at chuch or for a band this is the book for you. You will not be disappointed.

Comprehensive sound reinforcement overview

This is an excellent overview of the wide range of sound reinforcement concepts and technology. Everything is explained with clear language and diagrams that are accessible to non-specialists. Yet, the material is covered in impressive depth. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn more about this fascinating subject.
