Recording Audio: Engineering in the Studio

by Barry R. Hill

Overview

Whether you use the latest DAW software or an analog console, having a well-grounded knowledge of recording systems will help you become a more effective engineer. The basics never change-signal flow, mic technique, recording procedures, and good ears are crucial for getting great recordings. Recording Audio is designed to introduce new engineers to the recording process, providing plenty of hands-on suggestions and help along the way.

Topics discussed include: Tracking, mixing, & mastering, microphone design & technique, signal processors & application, podcast & voice recording, audio for video, film, & TV, analog & digital recording, acoustics & studio design, and recording for music educators.

This is audio, after all, so there are lots of listening examples to help you understand what's being described. If you take time to work through the book and begin hearing the nuances of the audio samples, you'll have a solid start toward developing as an engineer.

About the Author

I'm a professor of audio engineering and director of the Audio & Music Production degree program at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania. As a member of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (Grammys), Audio Engineering Society, and the Themed Entertainment Association, I've had many years in the industry as a recording engineer, consultant, conference panelist, workshop presenter, and performer. As Director of Worship Arts for my church, I've spent years in church audio, designing and installing systems, consulting, and training sound teams. My doctorate is in learning & instructional design, which I use to help teachers design better experiences for students.

For fun I teach theme park design concepts in the college’s Experience Design program, applying a life-long interest in Disney Imagineering and theme parks. Even more fun, I am the designer and producer of the Themed Attraction Podcast, a show focused on theme park design. My two former Disney colleagues interview designers and other professionals who’ve worked on parks you’ve enjoyed over the years.

My degrees are in Instructional Design from The Pennsylvania State University, Music Technology & Interactive Media from New York University, and Music with Recording Arts from the University of North Carolina Asheville.
