Customer Reviews

Excellent jumping-in point for novices
If you are either a beginner or intermediate sound tech, this is an excellent book. It starts off basic and then moves on into more advanced concepts such as complex gain-staging and equalizing. It is an excellent book for the casual sound engineer who has never had any formal training and is equally applicable to both live sound reinforcement and recording. It is simply the most informative yet concise introduction to Pro Audio I have ever seen.

JUST DO IT
Imagine a successful audio engineer who speaks in laymans terms with great illustrations and a sense of humor and you pretty much have this book by Ira White. This is the perfect introduction to live audio and recording whether at home, in a theater, church, or larger venue. Highly recommend.

Great book for beginners or people who need the basics
I use this book to train sound people for our church. It won't give you the gift of being able to hear subtle differences in music, or teach you the all the science behind sound systems. It will teach you how a sound system works, what all the terms mean, and what you need to know to set up your own system and run it well enough to get you going. It won't scare people away like most of the other books designed for serious students making this a career.
