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.
