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.

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.

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.

Mr Tone's book is informative, but not anything that cannot be found for nothing on the net for nothing. He is evidently well informed, possibly this is a prelude to something more substantial.
