Sound for Film and Television – with Audio CD
Sound for Film and Television, Tomlinson Holman (1997, Focal Press, Butterworth-Heinemann, 313 Washington Street, Newton, MA 02158, 253-pp. plus audio CD, $40)
If you’re looking for sound success in your film and video productions, this book and accompanying audio CD could be what you’re looking for. Author Tomlinson Holman effectively covers the various facets of sound--from "Objective Sound," to "Audio Fundamentals," "Recording," "Editing," "Mixing," and more. At times, the book is complicated by techno-jargon that makes it read similar to a college law textbook, but Holman’s knowledge on the subject is evident, and the information he presents is on-the-money. Along with the basics, Holman covers computer-based digital audio editing--an important inclusion given the popularity of computer-based applications. Plenty of useful diagrams help illustrate his points. All in all, a good addition to any producer’s library. 4
