Gardner's Guide to Digital Sound Design

Gardner's Guide to Digital Sound Design is an overview of the art, science, and business of professional sound design for films, television, and media. It helps the reader gain a broad understanding of the general concepts involved in professional audio production, along with a wealth of information about the tools and techniques used by composers, producers, and engineers. Particular emphasis is placed on the evolution of the sonic arts as emerging technologies continue to rapidly revolutionize not only the industry, but the expectations of the media consumer-digital media production, surround sound, software-assisted composition, data compression and the internet, which have contributed to a new world of audio and audio creation. With humor and an insider's vision, this book takes on the admittedly difficult task of making sense of this new multimedia sound design approach.
