## Description

Audio Metering: Measurements, Standards and Practice (Audio Engineering Society Presents) [Brixen, Eddy B.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Audio Metering: Measurements, Standards and Practice (Audio Engineering Society Presents)

Review: Good reference for the professional - There are many professions that make up the field of audio. It is easy to have substantial experience in one area and know little about another. This compact volume makes a nice first reference for those unfamiliar terms that are inevitably tripped over. After a brief introduction to audio--likely to be skimmed by most readers--Brixen moves immediately into descriptions of the human auditory system, covers simple descriptions of how power and peak are computed, then then gets into more subtle measurement. Various weighting systems are described and then more sophisticated ways of calibrating measurement to human perception. Along the way, various standards and practices are described well: controlling documents are also mentioned for those who need greater detail. There are many standards, some for cinema, some for acousticians, some for recording engineers and some for legal bodies. Brixen provides many useful tables when it becomes necessary to translate from one standard to another. Math is included where necessary. Most is algebra with only a hint of calculus. The index is not an afterthought. Many topics are covered under more than one entry. There are a few places where the author expands his mandate, but this is hard to begrudge. There's a tidy description of matrixed surround sound, and a nice description of the AES3 specification. There are some good descriptions of reverberation, including critical distance calculations necessary for good location recording. The last generation to deal with analog equipment is on the threshold of retirement. Those experts in recording on optical tracks are even more rare. But their recordings will be the subject of restoration and repurposing for decades to come. Knowing something about the equipment, the calibration and the technical restrictions will be critical for upcoming generations to do their best work. Brixen's book deserves a spot on the bookshelf.
Review: Still confusing to me - I'm not sure this was the book for me. It was above my head. This is for a user who is more experienced in this arena. The work is detailed and complex. If you are experienced then this might be the book for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow...SUPER advanced!
*by J***I on March 2, 2011*

I have to admit, I like listening to music but am not a composer or producer, so I was not that surprised when this book appeared to be in a foreign language to my uneducated eyes. I really got this for my brother, who has a masters degree in Music Composition from NYU, owns a small studio, and has been composing/producing music for over fifteen years. He has produced for rock bands, soundtracks, and in recent years he's really gotten into producing electronic dance music, so I thought this might give him some ideas and new techniques. Much to my dismay, he looked at the book and was completely mystified. He didn't understand it either! So what I'm saying is, if this book is even over HIS head, it's pretty advanced stuff. Definitely for professionals only, and even then you might want to do the "Look Inside" thing and make sure it's exactly what you're looking for before buying. Don't be like me and order it as a gift for someone who's really into music production! If they didn't specifically ask for it, it probably isn't what they want! Much apologies for giving 4 stars to a book that I can't even understand; I figured that's sort of neutral and won't drag the ratings down. NOT for the casual music production enthusiast, but could be really great stuff for the right person/purpose. Do a little more research than I did before purchasing.
