The Sound Studio is intended for anyone with a creative or technical interest in sound - for radio, television, film and music recording - but has particularly strong coverage of audio in broadcasting, reflecting the author's prolific career. * Provides encyclopaedic information on audio techniques - essential for both the audio practitioner and student * Covers the philosophy behind the techniques - answering the question 'why' as well as 'how' * Includes details on the latest digital audio computer-editing systems
