Master Handbook of Acoustics

by F. Alton Everest

The "bible" of acoustics now completely revised and updated for a new generation of audiophiles

The first four editions of this classic guide were written by the late F. Alton Everest, for many years the leading authority on acoustical principles. Now updated by another sound guru, Ken Pohlmann, the Fifth Edition of Master Handbook of Acoustics shows you how to achieve professional recording results at home, build an audio/video tech room for cutting-edge voice-over recording, control reverberation, interference, noise distortion in the air, and more.

You will find new information on hardware and software tools for performing acoustic measurements, subjective perception of acoustic space, noise control techniques, absorption measurements, and room impulse response measurements. The Fifth Edition also explores room design for surround-sound playback and professional studios, concert hall and auditorium acoustics, and room acoustics measurement and modeling software.

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

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.

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.
