More musical styles are current and popular today than ever before. Each one has an "authentic" sound. In fact the success of new releases depends on this authenticity.
But what is the secret behind each sound? What do producers tweak in the mix? Which effects do they use and in what combination? How (and where) do they record? And can it all be achieved on computer?
From drum and bass, jungle, disco, hip-hop, big beat, ambient, electronica, techno, grunge, nu-metal and dance to rock, folk, country, classical and "drums and strings", author Michael Prochak presents the technique to capturing the authentic sound of each genre.
Thorough and clear, this is the first book to offer such a practical comparison of sound production techniques.
