An industry primer
This was my college text for Broadcasting in 1984/85 and I taught Radio Production from this book.

It is easy to understand, direct and thorough; maybe the only textbook you might keep.

Not for Beginners
If, as this book claims, is a beginner's guide offering a nontechnical approach, than I am the Queen of England. I have an advanced degree, am published myself and work as a college professor in another field, but for all practical purposes, this book might as well as be in another language. If this book is truly for beginners, it would avoid sentences like "There are...

Never is late to learn,
By A Customer
This review is from: Audio in Media (Hardcover)
The most important in this book is that you can find anything about sound. I mean 1) fundamentals in sound 2) technology from past to future and 3) aplications. This book speaks of any thing in sound for any aplication (TV, studios, acoustic ect)

Same Book As Audio In Media With Infotrac,
By A Customer
This review is from: Audio in Media (Hardcover)
This text is a broad-based approach to audio for radio/TV/film, and music recording. The emphasis is on audio for production students rather than for engineers, and the text covers informational, perceptual, and aesthetic aspects of sound as they apply to each stage of the production process-from planning to post-production.

College is so expensive, so getting good used books is necessary. Amazon was a little slow in getting my order to this seller. I e-mailed and said we were leaving for college out of state in less than two weeks. Immediate response and shipment. Great to work with.

Sound God,
By A Customer
This review is from: Audio in Media (Hardcover)
I have had Stanley Alten for a professor and he knows what he is talking about. He is the know-all be-all of sound. His books are easy to read and to understand and great for people learning sound techniques.
