As author, veteran synthesizer instructor Brian K. Shepard draws on his years of experience in synthesizer pedagogy in order to peel back the often-mysterious layers of sound synthesis one-by-one. The result is a book which allows readers to familiarize themselves with each individual step in the synthesis process, in turn empowering them in their own creative or experimental work. The book follows the stages of synthesis in chronological progression, starting readers at the raw materials of sound creation and ultimately bringing them to the final polishing stage. Each chapter focuses on a particular aspect of the synthesis process, culminating in a last chapter that brings everything together as the reader creates his\/her own complex sounds. Throughout the text, the material is supported by copious examples and illustrations as well as by audio files and synthesis demonstrations on a related companion website. Each chapter contains easily digestible guided projects (entitled Your Turn sections) that focus on the topics of the corresponding chapter. In addition to this, one complete project will be carried through each chapter of the book cumulatively, allowing the reader to follow - and build - a sound from start to finish. The final chapter includes several sound creation projects in which readers are given types of sound to create as well as some suggestions and tips, with final outcomes is left to readers'' own creativity. Perhaps the most difficult aspect of learning to create sounds on a synthesizer is to understand exactly what each synthesizer component does independent of the synthesizer''s numerous other components. Not only does this book thoroughly illustrate and explain these individual components, but it also offers numerous practical demonstrations and exercises that allow the reader to experiment with and understand these elements without the distraction of the other controls and modifiers. Refining Sound is essential for all electronic musicians from amateur to professional levels of accomplishment, students, teachers, libraries, and anyone interested in creating sounds on a synthesizer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShepard employs an inviting and accessible writing style to explain advanced topics in a way that is easy to understand.

In clear language, he thoroughly explains and illustrates concepts that could be tedious and overwhelming for most readers, and does so from the perspective of the musician rather than the mathematician or physicist. I'm sure we will use this book as the primary text in our synthesis classes for years to come. * Scott L.

With Sound Play, game audio finally has the academic credentials it needs to take its place among the other fine arts. * Christopher Tin, Grammy-winning video game music composer *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Richard Leppert ; Introduction ; Chapter 1: A Tune at the End of the World ; Chapter 2: How Celes Sang ; Chapter 3: Dead Ringers ; Chapter 4: Role-Playing toward a Virtual Musical Democracy ; Chapter 5: The Wizard, the Troll, and the Fortress ; Epilogue ; End Notes ; Works Cited ; Index","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862499000663,"sku":"9780199969975","price":32.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"the-music-producers-ultimate-guide-to-fl-studio-20-create-production-quality-music-with-fl-studio-9781800565326","title":"The Music Producer's Ultimate Guide to FL Studio 20: Create production-quality music with FL Studio","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeverage the power of FL Studio 20 to create and compose production-quality songs and develop professional music production skills  Key Features  Leverage the power of FL Studio to create your own production-level music Develop widely applicable music production skills and learn how to promote your music Utilize cutting-edge tools to fuel your creative ideas and publish your songs  Book DescriptionFL Studio is a cutting-edge software music production environment and an extremely powerful and easy-to-use tool for creating music.
