Audio productions are made or broken by the quality of the recording engineer's ears.
The ability to properly discern sounds, identify subtle problems, and act accordingly
to apply the necessary fix makes all the difference in the quality of the final tracks
and master. The good news is that these crucial skills can be learned. The ability to
instantly identify frequencies, hear hidden distortions, and instinctively reconcile
conflicts in the EQ of instruments, audio elements, vocals and more are traits of
those who have mastered the art of audio production. The best engineers have trained
their ears to immediately recognize audio problems that the consumer and those new to
recording arts would likely not hear, but that, if left unresolved, would result in an
amateurish final product. For more than two decades, students of F. Alton Everest's
Critical Listening and Auditory Perception courses have rapidly developed these skills
by using the intense lessons found in this book and on the CD. Unfortunately the books
and CDs included with the course were usually too expensive for aspiring engineers to
purchase and were often available only in colleges, universities, or school libraries.
Now for the first time these indispensable training sessions are available with this
release of Critical Listening Skills for Audio Professionals. Through hundreds of
illustrations and an accompanying disc containing high-resolution MP3 files with nearly
five hours of narration of the entire course, you can acquire the audio discernment
skills of a seasoned recording engineer by studying this course at your own pace, in
your own home.
