Description
"The Art of Recording" is a comprehensive study of the relation of audio technology to the artistic aspects of audio recording. It systematizes the common practices of audio, broadcast, and media recording engineers and producers, and gives them a working vocabulary and methodology for evaluating their own work in relation to others in the industry. William Moylan first defines the essential artistic elements of audio production. He then uses these definitions to develop accurate methods for objectively evaluating recorded sound. Each concept is explained, then reinforced through the use of current and historically significant recordings. Audio professionals will discover a wealth of new recording techniques for defining and capturing sound sources, shaping the performance of the materials, and analyzing the final product. They should also benefit from the sophisticated treatment of such crucial audio recording issues as pitch, dynamics, timbre, and spatial relationships. This book should be of interest to audio, broadcast, and media recording engineers and producers.
