Multimedia Sound and Music Studio
Jeff Essex (1996, Random House, 201 East 50th St., New York, NY 10022, 404 pp. with CD- ROM, $45)
Audio should never play second fiddle to images in multimedia productions. Whether authoring for CD-ROM or the Web, Multimedia Sound and Music Studio shows how to integrate quality digital audio into multimedia -- with special attention to keeping files small.
Since the majority of multimedia producers author on the Macintosh, the book covers the basics of digital audio sampling, recording, capture, editing, output, integration, and playback on that platform. Included are reviews of audio editors, mixers, utilities, processors, and MIDI sequencers.
Studio owner Jeff Essex shares his expertise in using digital audio to create music, sound effects and voice-over. He has created 25 CD-ROM titles for clients like Time-Warner.
The book includes a Mac/Windows CD-ROM that's packed with cool stuff like samples of work by
multimedia luminaries, sound software utilities, clip media samples, software demos, a hypertext version of
the book, and helpful tutorials. This book is required reading for videomakers interested in this hot new
area of digital production. (5)To View This Article
