4 out of 5 stars Just what I needed   March 16, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I am currently a student in mediaproduction and not too apt in the field of audio. Often I would come across examples in my textbooks on problems concerning EQ, audio levels, sounds masking eachother comb filter effect etc. My biggest problem is that I do not know what I should listen for. I haven't finished this book yet, but I still feel confident enough about in order to praise it in a review. This book is very good. Nice examples on the CD and very helpful. I do not know how useful it is for audio professionals, but for a student I think it is awesome.

In my first review I wrote that I thought the CD was sloppily made. In fact there was no trouble with the tracks, but since I did not realize that the CD contained mp3's rather than ordinary CD tracks my player read track 10 as track 2. Well, I dont know if I would trust mp3's as a listening reference (even if they have a very hight quality). I wish they could have used CD quality Wave files on a DVD instead. Still a helpful book, though.

The book comes with a cd. Mine didn't work, and book is useless without cd. I emailed publisher, waited a week to hear back, and they pretty much told me I was out of luck. What a ripoff.

This is a reissue of two earlier publications from a distant era. An old school approach to ear training. The Psychoacoustic section is quite informative. My suggestion would be to pick it up - used.
There are some DVD-Rom software items out there. "Audio wizard pro ear trainning" is a neat little program if you can get past the "turbined, genie in a bottle" thing going on.

Listen carefully !
If you are a Sound Engineer and you dont have a copy of this book, your
missing out on a lot.

This book is all about you and your EAR and how you perceive sound,
your expensive mixers and gadgets are of no use if you dont know
how to listen to the sound criticaly and deftly turn those nobs and slide those sliders on your mixers !
