Review
Praise for the previous editions:

From Book News, Inc.
Rumsey (sound recording, Univ. of Surrey, England) and McCormick (a professional in audio electronics and theater sound) provide a textbook for audio engineering students, and a review for working engineers that is broad in theory and coverage but focused on the principles of audio recording and reproduction. In addition to conventional topics such as MIDI, digital audio and time code, comprehensive coverage of commonly misunderstood subjects such as the decibel, balanced lines, reference levels and metering systems is included. The fourth edition offers updated chapters on surround sound, spatial perception, DVD-A, SACD, Direct Stream Digital, MiniDisc, assignable digital mixing consoles and distributed-mode loudspeakers.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

'I rate the book very highly and use it regularly when teaching. It excels in explaining the technical side of sound recording and is a must-read for beginners and professionals alike.'
Ian Hu, Principal, School of Sound Recording, Manchester (UK)

'Not one day has passed when I haven't turned to this book. It should be renamed "Sound Recording Bible".'
A reader, Amazon.co.uk

'As a self-taught sound engineer and technician, I found the book extremely well written, easy to understand, and not biased towards a single application (such as PA or music). It has certainly helped to fill some gaps in my knowledge, particularly of why things are done in a certain way, rather than just how to do them.'
A reader, Amazon.co.uk

'Definitely the best book on recording matters I have ever read... Something more than simply an introduction, it may be of great interest to everyone concerned with audio, sound and recording.'
A reader, Amazon.co.uk

'A comprehensive and contemporary work that is eminently readable but never lightweight.'
Pro Sound News

'I can recommend that students should stay up past bedtime reading it.'
Ken Pohlmann, AES Journal

'This book will provide a vital source of information for those students or trainee engineers entering music recording.'
Studio Systems

'It provides clear and simple explanations for the basic concepts needed to understand the processes involved in recording. It also addresses most of the recent developments in surround sound and digital audio.' Jay Kadis, lecturer, Stanford University, USA
