How does sound work?
How do I record a range of instruments?
How do I record, mix and master a track?
How do I use MIDI for sequencing and arranging?
This book tackles all these questions and more, and is a complete beginner's guide to recording, mixing and mastering music. It is an indispensable resource for anyone studying or interested in music technology, and those wishing to create their own professional-quality recordings.
Fully illustrated throughout, diagrams and photos provide step-by-step guides to using your equipment. It includes tips and hints on polishing your recordings and making sure your sessions run smoothly as well as ‘test yourself questions’ and ‘projects’ at the end of each chapter and a full glossary explaining all technical terms and concepts.
“Finally a reference book which is not aimed at any specific exam course but addresses the complexities of Music Technology in a student friendly manner. Not only an excellent new reference tool for students, it will also be of great use to the many music teachers who are starting out teaching this subject, and to the keen amateur who produces music at home.”
- Ingrid McLean, Subject leader for Music, Hanham High School, Bristol
“A reader-friendly approach to dealing with previously complex explanations of technology; presenting clear passages of text and colourful diagrams. The most impressive part of the book is its ability to appeal to a wide variety of readers, both in terms of age and ability. Many of the chapters would be of interest to those who are either starting their career, want to brush-up on their understanding or would like to further engage with their hobby.”
