Alan Kefauver's Audio Recording Handbook is a comprehensive guide which covers every aspect of the recording process. Following a discussion of sound, Kefauver explores loudspeakers and microphones and also current audio signal processing devices. He covers at length issues of reverberation, equalizers, compressors, noise reduction, and other processes for recording and editing sound.

The Audio Recording Handbook includes sections devoted to analog and digital audio systems, digital editing workstations, tape recorder alignment, and synchronization systems. In addition, Kefauver discusses the features of both analog and digital recording consoles, as well as various console automation systems. Throughout the book, applications to surround sound formats are addressed. One of the most useful parts of The Audio Recording Handbook is the discussion of the recording, mixdown, and editing sessions, which brings together everything covered in the text clearly and effectively.

In this third edition published by A-R Editions, Kefauver has completely updated The Audio Recording Handbook to reflect current technology. This edition provides readers with the latest information in the audio field. The book includes a full glossary and an upto-date bibliography.
