Sound recording practice: A handbook

By: John Borwick

Book Overview

In this invaluable book, a broad range of contributors--musicians, acousticians, electronic engineers, and broadcasters--share their specialized expertise on the equipment used to record, transmit, and reproduce speech and music and the operational techniques that have evolved over half acentury in the sound recording industry. This fourth edition, newly revised and comprehensive, emphasizes the array of new technologies and techniques such as rapid advances in recording techniques, computer-controlled equipment, new digital recording formats, and the proliferation of consumeraudio/video media. Addressing the user rather than the designer or manufacturer, Sound Recording Practice offers a stimulating, informative, and comprehensive guide to each aspect of recording.

If you plan a career in the recording industry you must read

I bought my first copy of John Borwick's Sound Recording Practise nearly twenty years ago when I started work as a trainee sound engineer at Radio Tees. Since then it has grown and is now in its fourth edition. It covers everything from microphones to the loudspeakers. All recording formats are covered; DAT, CD, CD-R, Minidisc, etc.Now as a mature sound engineer with twenty years experience under my belt I still have a copy on my bookshelf for reference.
