Overview

More musical styles are current and popular today than ever before. And 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, in what combination? How (and where) do they record? And can it all be achieved on computer? From drum & 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.
