Customer Reviews

Concise and comprehensive source of information

The Audio Dictionary is a great book for anyone who's looking for a concise, clear explanation of any audio-related term. It's not (and does not pretend to be) a complete treaty like the Handbook for Sound Engineers, but offers a quick and reliable solution for those questions for which you don't have an answer from the top of your head and don't want to spend 2 hours reading the complete scientific explanation. I consider it a must-have for any Audio Engineer who takes his profession seriously and have at least one copy in the library of each school we operate in Spain.

Never-fail reference

I almost always find the answer to my question when I look it up here. Clear definitions and explanations of even advanced concepts.

Glenn did a great job

Glenn D. White has taken the technical concepts and made them accessible to everyone.

This is an excellent addition to your Sound Library

I have found this book to be especially handy in finding definitions to audio terms that are virtually impossible to find even in expensive Sound recording text books.

This book is a must!

If there is anything in audio you need a quick but thorough explanation of, this book is the answer. A wonderful addition to any library.
