I have the first edition of this book and decided to buy the second as well. There are a few thing Jay Rose added to this book that were not in the first edition. This book and also Rose’s “Producting Great Sound for Digital Video” are well organized, clearly written and have greatly helped my understanding of how to deal with sound both in production and post. He goes into much detail regarding postproduction manipulation of sound. I constantly refer to these books.

This book is very well-written, practical, and informative. I’ve been involved in broadcast audio in one form or another for over 20 years, and the only other books I’ve seen on this subject have been “textbook” style… in other words, they were written to be used along with a professor in a classroom situation. While Jay’s book would certainly work well in a class, it works equally well on its own, i.e., you don’t need a professor to get the most out of this book. He also understands that people reading this aren’t going to have access to a $500K post facility. I’m not saying that good (aka expensive) tools don’t make the job easier, but Jay points out ways to get the job done for less whenever possible.
While I’ve got a lot of experience in broadcast, not much has been in film, and this book has helped me a great deal to expand my market. If you’re into this sort of thing, you should definitely buy a copy. Brian Gilbert, [...]

Most books on Audio Post are practically useless. Some of them amount to no more than a rambling collection of memoirs. Others just discuss basic job descriptions. Occasionally, you’ll ind a book that gets into more technical details, but mostly reads like a how-to manual on Pro Tools.
This book is the most refreshing and informative book I have found yet. Not only does Mr. Rose get into great detail about specific techniques, but he does it in a non-application specific way. I doesn’t matter if you use Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic, or even a hardware based audio system. His tips transcend each platform and tech you how to really get something done. (as it should be)
So if you already know what a compressor, eq, etc is and how to use them, and you want to read about some suggestions on new way HOW to apply them- get this book.
Ever after 10 years, I learned some new stuff. (and was reminded of things I forgot!)
