Acoustics and Psychoacoustics is a comprehensive book designed to provide a broad-ranging introduction to the subject of acoustics, including the principles of human perception of sound, sometimes called psychoacoustics. It is ideal for students of music technology, sound recording traditional music and acoustics, as well as engineers studying audio, multimedia and communications systems. It is geared very much towards those who want a practical understanding of how real musical sounds behave and are perceived in real spaces. it will also help those who need to use acoustics principles in the design of equipment, instruments and rooms, and it will benefit those who make recordings. Whilst introducing all of the main fundamentals, the text is easy to read and avoids non-essential mathematics. It is written for engineer's and musicians rather than the physicists, and there are plenty of worked examples for study. The authors, James Angus and David Howard, are both senior lecturers on Music technology courses at the University of York. James Angus was one of the instigators of these courses and actively researches in acoustics and audio signal processing and is a regular drummer. David Howard research interests include speech and singing and the use of computer displays in voice teaching and he is a keen organist, singer and choral conductor.

The acoustics of a space can have a real impact on the sounds you create and capture. Acoustics and Psychoacoustics gives you an essential grounding and understanding to how real music sounds behave in different spaces whether during a performance or a recording and how they are perceived by performers and listeners. With their clear and simple style, Howard and Angus address both theory and practice by addressing the science of sound engineering and music production, the acoustics of musical instruments, the ways in which we hear musical sounds, and the application of these concepts to music spaces to create professional sound. Real-world examples and audio clips are included, providing practical materials to work with. The new edition uncovers the acoustic application for today's recording industry. The accompanying CD provides audio examples to help readers gain a clear understanding of the many concepts discussed in the book The website is packed with audio clips, questions and answers, a calculation facility as well as links and resources.

How to Build a Great Screenplay: A Master Class in Storytelling for Film

Acclaimed USC screenwriting teacher David Howard has guided hundreds of students to careers in writing for film and television. Drawing on decades of practical experience and savvy, How to Build a Great Screenplay deconstructs the craft of screenwriting and carefully reveals how to build a good story from the ground up. Howard eschews the "system" offered by other books, emphasizing that a great screenplay requires dozens of unique decisions by the author. He offers in-depth considerations of: * characterization * story arc * plotting and subplotting * dealing with coincidence in story plotting * classical vs. revolutionary screenplay structure * tone, style, and atmosphere * the use of time on screen * the creation of drama and tension * crucial moments in storytelling Throughout the book, Howard clarifies his lessons through examples from some of the most successful Hollywood and international script-oriented films, including Pulp Fiction, American Beauty, Trainspotting, North by Northwest, Chinatown, and others. The end result is what could very well become the classic text in the field---a bible for the burgeoning screenwriter.
