Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 620.2 EAN: 9780071360975 Edition: 4 ISBN: 0071360972 Label: McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Manufacturer: McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 592 Publication Date: September 22, 2000 Publisher: McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Studio: McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Editorial Review: Product Description: The goal of this book is to apply the principles of acoustics to the audio arts. This involves serving as an interpreter of major trends and the literature for students and practitioners in the audio field. Along with covering the more theoretical aspects of acoustics, the book applies the theory to the design of specialized audio spaces such as the home listening room, the control room, and the multi-track-recording studio.

 Rating:  - I trust this information because it is trusted by the people that recommended it to me!Acoustics. That is what this book is about. Mr. Everest is celebrated by people who know acoustics. You may have to read it more then once, let's face it, you will HAVE to read it more than once. In the time it takes you to completely mess a recording room up acoustically, you could read this book twice and get the room right. So buy it, read it twice and get the sound you have been thinking was only available to the smart guys. A quality sound room can be yours, for a song;) ... Read More Rating:  - Good Explanation of AcousticsOverall this book does a good job of explaining many aspects of acoustics. It gave me a good understanding of how humans perceive sound, how sound propagates in open and closed spaces, how to insulate rooms from external noise, how to construct ventilation systems to minimize ventilation noise, how to construct studios and control rooms (but, it doesn't investigate this topic very deeply; if you want to build a studio and control room then you need to consult a professional), how to construct sound absorption/diffusion/reflection ... Read More Rating: - Everest has it covered!I haven't read the whole book, but from the excerpts I have read, Everest covers a very broad range of topics at at least an acceptable level. Any related topic I've wanted to look up so far has good and relevant material. I'd call this best studio/acoustics design reference book I've seen so far. Well worth the price. Rating: - excellent bookthis book is an excellent overview and introspection into the world of usable acoustics. it tends to focus on the applicable, everyday world of acoustics instead of the completely theoretical--which was a huge help in my Church production job. i highly recommend it as a reference text and background book to anyone in music production. Rating: - Master Handbook Of AcousticsI have found this a very usefull and well written book. It is being used as a reference for a college course I am studying. It does require some knowledge of electronic principles but is clear and understandable. I would recommend it to any serious student of sound and acoustics. |
