How Does It Sound Now? Legendary Engineers and Vintage Gear: Pro Audio Textbook

Nominated for the 2011 Association for Recorded Sound Collections' Award for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research, How Does it Sound Now? was originally conceived as a collection of interviews with engineers who made the transition through different technologies - analog to digital, wire to tape, and CD to mp3, seeking to explore the methodology employed by the most successful engineers when confronted with new and evolving technology. The discussion that emerged was focused on how producers and engineers retain quality and continue to create a product that conforms to their own high standards in the face of changing technologies. The 31 engineers and producers interviewed in this book contributed to hundreds of millions of copies of albums and CDs throughout their combined careers. HOW DOES IT SOUND NOW? offers insight for any engineer or aspiring engineer that hopes to achieve similar heights in their profession.
