Title: Same old information
Product review: This book is not for beginners or for the experience sound professional.If you have gone through the books by Yamaha or the Davis's you have hit most of the info given out in this book.If you begin with the first chapter on decibels your head will be spining.The decibel and its usage is a complicated matter which needs a good laymans explanation for a novice is poorly presented. Example a newcomer to sound may ask if I double my distance from 10 feet to twenty feet from a free field source will I percieve half the level or a quarter of the level at twenty feet?I purchase the book hoping to find more info on improving mixing techniques with more versitle boards such as effects usage with left center and right mixes. Pros and cons of pre eq when using a board forboth house and monitor. Best practices for in ear monitoring. And much more info on computerized testing.The book also needs to be organized better, diagrams should be on the same page as the text associated with them.
