Editorial Reviews

Review

"It is rare to find a reference book that you do not want to stop reading, but The Audio Dictionary fits that description... Each definition, from absolute pitch to zero reference, is actually a mini-article with concise yet thorough explanations that are easy for non-specialists to understand." Music Educators Journal --This text refers to the Paperback edition.


Product Description

Revised and expanded edition (first in 1987) of a highly regarded guide to the terminology and basic concepts in the fields of sound recording, sound reinforcement, and musical acoustics. Could supplement textbooks for courses in these areas or serve as a reference for those more generally interest --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent addition to your Sound Library, November 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Audio Dictionary (Paperback)
I have found this book to be especially handy in finding definitions to audio terms that are virtually impossible to find even in expensive Sound recording text books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise and comprehensive source of information, March 23, 2006
By Sandro de Castro (Barcelona, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Audio Dictionary (Paperback)
The Audio Dictionary is a great book for anyone who's looking for a concise, clear explanation of any audio-related term. It's not (and does not pretend to be) a complete treaty like the Handbook for Sound Engineers, but offers a quick and reliable solution for those questions for which you don't have an answer from the top of your head and don't want to spend 2 hours reading the complete scientific explanation.

I consider it a must-have for any Audio Engineer who takes his profession seriously and have at least one copy in the library of each school we operate in Spain.
