1.0 out of 5 stars Less than a web page, April 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Digital Audio Post for Films on a Budget (Paperback)

This book really only covers pull-down/pull-up in any depth, and that information is incorrect. It repeatedly refers to pulldown/pullup from film to video as being 1%, when it is actually .1%, a mistake by a factor of 10! That would make it hard to stay in sync! If you already know anything at all about film audio post, this book is too basic. If you don't, there are better sources, such as the Protools reference manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars It gets right to the point, July 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Digital Audio Post for Films on a Budget (Paperback)

I found this book to be very helpful. It has a lot of information in one place that IÕve had only previously seen spread over three or four different books. It gets right to the point without any fluff. The tables that explain the different types of time code, how pull-downs work and the different types of digital audio alone make this worthwhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Reference, May 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Digital Audio Post for Films on a Budget (Paperback)

This is an excellent reference. It quickly and easily covers the main steps to getting through a project. It's short and to the point, which I liked. It doesn't go into great detail but it does give you a good overview of all the hows and whys for dealing with digital audio. Despite a few typos and its homegrown feel, it is well worth the money.
