“Understanding Audio: Getting the Most Out of Your Project or Professional Recording Studio” by Daniel M. Thompson explores the fundamentals of audio and acoustics that impact every stage of the music recording process. It’s perfect for any musician setting up their first Pro Tools project studio, or seasoned recording engineers or producer eager to find a reference that fills in the gaps in their understanding of audio.

This vital reference will enable readers to develop a thorough understanding of the underlying principles of sound and take some of the mystery and guesswork out of how equipment setup affects the quality of their recordings. Projects at the end of each chapter will help readers apply these principles to their own recording environment.

“This is probably the best primer on recording fundamentals and techniques that I’ve ever read. I wish I had a book that was this comprehensive when I started my career. It’s simple and easy to understand, and the diagrams are perfect. From basic audio principles to current digital technology, this book has something to offer everybody in the industry. This book should be a requirement for every entry-level engineering student,” says Elliot Scheiner, Multi-Grammy-winning engineer and producer (Steely Dan, The Eagles, Sting).
