[Michel Iseneld · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must-read for anyone interested in the realms of acoustics. Thorough, theoretical and practical.

[Beard Papa · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you ever find yourself having to write a training manual on acoustics, this book should be your wing man. It was worth every penny I will now have to pay in library late fees.

[Rogelio Marín · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was the first one I read (related to music), It was a good introduction for learning more stuff like mixing, producing and (a little bit) of mastering.

Also it's pretty great for know what sound is, the way your ears function and other interesting things.
