| Abstract
|

|
The Art of Recording articulates and explores the ways recorded sound is different from live sound, and how those differences can enhance music, including surround sound. It presents a system for developing the critical and analytical listening skills necessary to recognize and understand these sound characteristics--the same skills necessary to create quality recordings-- and for talking about or describing sound.The Art of Recording also considers audio recording as a creative process. The reader will learn to guide the artistry of music recording from its beg.
