Product Description
From the Author
Why you should buy this book.
I'm very gratified that this book has been so well received. Ihave had great comments from radio station production people, music engineers, project studio owners and students. The reason they like the book is that it explains the sometimes mystifying principles of good audio in easy to understand terms. The radio people say the book allows them to talk to their chief engineers and improve the quality of their production. Music engineers already know a lot of the content, but find that the parts on setting up a good monitoring environment and envisioning the signal path through the system is very helpful. Project studio people find it a guidebook to more successful session. Students find it allows them MUCH easier access to the technology. One person commented that, "Like the ADAT, this book helps to democratize audio technology so that everyone can use it." Finally, the last chapter's interview with noted producer/engineers Nelson Funk of Rodel in Washington DC and Louis Mills of Flite Three in Baltimore give invaluable insight into the production process. This candid chapter alone is worth the price.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT "Advanced" and overpriced, 24 Nov 1998
By A Customer
I was very eager to receive this book. I follow Ty Ford's reviews in Pro Audio Review and respect his opinions. However, the title of "Advanced Audio Production Techniques" is misleading. The book is anything but advanced. I was deeply disappointed.

The concepts presented in "Advanced Audio Production Techniques" are basic and should have been long mastered by anyone looking to improve his or her audio chops with "advanced" material. The book does make a good primer and covers a broad range of topics. And Ford does an excellent job explaining the basics of compression -- a tricky topic. As a primer, however, $32.95 is entirely too high. For the same price you could get a subscription to Recording magazine, Electronic Musician or EQ, all of which will cover the same territory in more detail over the course of a year.

A much better bet is Hank Linderman's "Hot Tips for the Home Recording Studio." It also is a book about the basics and presents itself that way. And, frankly, it far exceeds its stated "Home Studio" focus. The material covered is applicable even to professional recording situations. Linderman goes into sufficient detail about the equipment, processes and specific techniques of recording. "Hot Tips" is an invaluable resource that I return to frequently just to brush up.
