Media Reviews

Sound and Recording is an invaluable text that a student can use as a reference throughout their career. -Jim Anderson, Professor, Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music, Tisch School of the Arts. New York University, US
Sound and Recording provides clear and simple explanations for the basic concepts needed to understand the processes involved in recording. It also addresses the recent developments in surround sound and digital audio. -Jay Kadis, Audio Engineer/Lecturer, Stanford University, US

I rate this book very highly and use it regularly when teaching. It excels in explaining the technical side of sound recording and is a must-read for beginners and professional alike.
-Ian Hu, Principal, School of Sound Recording, Manchester, UK
