Audio Postproduction for Digital Video

by Jay Rose, Lydia Linker (Editor)

Written in the author's clear conversational style, with ample illustrations and visual analogies, this book features software agnostic tutorials and "cookbook recipes" for each phase of postaudio processing. The author begins with a section of FAQs from readers of the author's magazine column. After summarizing the significant points of audio theory, the author describes the preliminaries of setting up a post studio. From there he details every aspect of postproduction - from getting the tracks into the computer, to 'fixing and mixing,' to dealing with details of compression and streaming. The companion audio CD contains diagnostics, tutorial tracks, and demonstrations.

There's some good info in here, but it's just lacking in too many areas to recommend as book that you can read and learn Audio post. You WILL need other books if this is the only book you purchase, so why bother.

When paired with his articles from DV magazine and his website this book gave me a new appreciation for sound production and how critical it is in film making.
