PC Audio Editing: From broadcasting to home CD

By Roger Derry

PC Audio Editing is an essential guide for anyone wishing to make audio production for issue as recordings, or for broadcast, using a Windows PC and material acquired both in the studio and via portable equipment. Even those who are experienced with editing and mixing using quarter inch tape can find the change to editing audio visually on a PC daunting. The author explains all the basic principles of this new technology and the skills you need to use it successfully, without assuming prior knowledge of the system, in a practical and straightforward manner. The accompanying free CD-ROM is supplied by Syntrillium Software Corporation. It contains a demo and tutorials of Cool Edit Pro, the leading PC audio editing program.

I Found This Book To Be Helpful

Unlike the other reviewer, I found this book to be helpful. I am already a Cool Edit Pro user and I have integrated this program into my audio recording program of Sonar XL by Cakewalk. Together, these programs are a powerhouse. I did think that there were subjects that I would have liked the author to elaborate on (i.e. more about music audio than voice), but all in all, I thought it was well written and informative. I would have also like to have seen more tricks covered, but I have learned the art of audio editing basicaly on my own with trial and error. To listen to some good examples, visit my mp3 site at mp3.com/rsumner. "Rock Slide" was edited with Cool Edit Pro. This is actually the only book that I have seen covering the subject of audio editing on the PC. I do expect to see more in the near future though. I gave the book a 4 star rating.
