    5.0 out of 5 stars Sound for Digital Video
    Reviewed in the United States on 25 September 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I have been involved in technical audio most of my life (over six decades) and got hooked on digital video a few years ago. Primarily DSLR Video where one is almost forced to use double system sound which requires much more attention to the methods and equipment needed.
    I have nearly a dozen books on sound for film and video, but none of them have given the detail and coverage of information that this book has. Mr. Holman (who, by the way, developed THX, the standard of theater and equipment sound that you may recognize by the opening banner in many movies that has the tendency to blow you out of your seat) has conveyed eminently practical and complete information to anyone interested in the sound portion of their videos. Sound for film and video is more than half of the viewers experience. You can tolerate a less than ideal picture, but if the sound is not great, you will likely walk out of the theater. It pays to have the right tools, and this is one tool you should have in your gear list.
    Out of all the books I've read, I would consider this the bible for the subject.

    This book claims to have been published in 2013, but there is nothing that is up to date in it. It more or less the reprint of the previous version, but the costs is just too high.... It is not worth the price. DON'T WASTE MONEY IF YOU HAVE LOW BUDGET.
