"Stereo Sound for Television" covers all operational, perceptional, acoustic, psychological and engineering aspects of stereo sound for television, through microphone techniques and stereo equipment, to distribution and transmission systems. All currently-adopted transmission systems including NICAM 728, BTSC, dual FM system, FM/FM system and the Dolby ADM system are covered. The book aims to be of interest to operators, engineers and management in the field of television. Francis Rumsey lectures on the University of Surrey's Tonmeister degree course in Music with Sound Recording. He contributes to magazines such as "Broadcasting Systems Engineering", "Studio Sound" and "International Broadcasting", and has helped to design stereo sound training courses for television for the Independent Television Association.

A practical handbook for those who work every day with digital audio, who would like to understand it better, or who need to get to grips with more complex topics such as synchronization.

Digital Audio Operations

Provides comprehensive coverage of every aspect of MIDI. The second edition includes more examples of real implementations, more diagrams and the whole book has been rewritten to include a far greater practical element, to complement its existing technical strengths. Several completely new sections and complete chapters have been added including a new opening chapter as an introduction to principles and terminology; MIDI timecode; librarians and editors.There is a discussion of the choice of computer for MIDI control, different approaches to sequencer software design, user interfaces, the Apple MIDI managers etc. The final chapter covers Practical Systems Design. Understand the principles and technology behind MIDILearn how to implement MIDI

Midi Systems and Control

The Digital Interface Handbook is a thoroughly detailed manual for those who need to get to grips with digital audio and video systems. Now that installations in the broadcasting, multimedia and music industries are increasingly all digital, engineers and operators working in thee industries need to become more familiar with digital interfaces, their benefits and pitfalls. Digital interfaces are the key to maintaining programme quality throughout the signal chain. In the Digital Interface Handbook, Francis Rumsey and John Watkinson bring together their combined experience to shed light on the differences between audio interfaces such as AES/EBU, SPDIF, SDIF, MADI and other manufacturer-specific implementations. They show how to make devices 'talk to each' in the digital domain despite their subtle differences. They also include detailed coverage of all the regularly used digital video interfaces. A great deal more information on digital video will be found in this second edition. Now that the subject has reached a greater degree of standardization and equipment is entering service in greater quantities, it is possible to include more on the practical applications of video, including how to go about installing equipment, including a discussion of cable lengths. written by the leading audio and video experts in the field a useful reference work and tutorial for engineers

Audio Workstation Handbook (Music Technology Series)

Sound and Recording is designed as an easy-to-read reference for those at an early stage in their careers. For those students or trainee engineers entering music recording, broadcasting or associated industries this book will provide a vital introduction to the principles of sound, perception, audio technology and systems. It is technically accurate whilst at the same time being approachable, well illustrated and has key facts presented in self contained 'fact files'. Sound and Recording covers such subjects as basic acoustics, auditory perception, mixing console layout and functions, analogue and digital recording, noise reduction, MIDI, timecode, synchronisation, microphone principles and loudspeaker systems, and as such it will also prove valuable to those professionals already established in audio engineering as a 'back-to-basics' reference. The authors, Francis Rumsey and Tim McCormick are both active musicians and engineers. Tim McCormick was formerly deputy head of sound at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. Francis Rumsey is Senior Lecturer on the world famous 'Tonmeister' degree course at the University of Surrey and is author of MIDI Systems and Control, and Audio Workstation Handbook. He is also co-author, with John Watkinson, of The Digital Interface Handbook. completely up to date standards and systemsnews sections on digital mixers and automationthe latest on MIDI and a revised chapter on digital audio

Sound and Recording: An Introduction

MCCORMICK, TIM

Explores the principles and practical considerations of spatial sound recording and reproduction. Particular emphasis is given to the increasing importance of multichannel surround sound and 3D audio, including binaural approaches, without ignoring conventional stereo. The enhancement of spatial quality is arguably the only remaining hurdle to be overcome in pursuit of high quality sound reproduction. The rise of increasingly sophisticated spatial sound systems presents an enormous challenge to audio engineers, many of whom are confused by the possibilities and unfamiliar with standards, formats, track allocations, monitoring configurations and recording techniques. The author provides a comprehensive study of the current state of the art in spatial audio, concentrating on the most widely used approaches and configurations. Anyone wishing to expand their understanding of these cutting-edge technologies will want to own this book. Keep up to date with the latest technology - 3D audio, surround sound and multichannel recording techniques Enables you to cut through the common confusions and problems associated with the subject Further your knowledge with this comprehensive study of the very latest spatial audio technologies and techniques
