A practical guide explaining techniques related to sound engineering. Content Introduction "The Book of Making Sound Louder," which has been read by many people since its release in November 2006, is now in its 15th-anniversary edition. The "sound" referred to in this book is the sound of music, such as CDs and streaming sources, created on a PC. Even if you can create your own CDs or sound sources, you may often feel that the "sound is quiet" compared to commercially available ones. So, why is the sound of professionally produced CDs and sound sources so loud? This book explains the methods for achieving this in detail, from the basics. Music production software on PCs is equipped with functions to make sound louder, but simply using them often doesn't result in beautiful, loud sound. Even if you know that using an equalizer and compressor is the key to making sound louder, many people struggle to achieve the desired loudness. This book aims to go a step further from the previous book, "The Book of Making Sound Louder," to "make sound louder musically." It introduces tips on not only making the sound louder but also on increasing the sound pressure beautifully and musically. *This data is based on information available at the time of this product's release.
