Mastered for iTunes... will be the standard from now on. It is 100% based on solid science, as you will learn in the chapters of this book. --Bob Ludwig, Gateway Mastering, Portland, ME (from the Foreword) In iTunes Music, the tools of the trade are expertly explained by Bob Katz in a way that informs the professional and enlightens the beginner. The next time I'm asked "What is mastering?" I'll answer the question with a question: "Have you read Bob's book[s]?" --Jim Anderson, Professor, Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, Recording Engineer, and Past President, Audio Engineering Society, NYC Knowledge is key to understanding, and Bob's book clarifies the "new world order" of music delivery with the right mix of practical and technical detail. No matter your background, if you care about how your music will sound to others, you need to read this! You should be able to provide better sounding music after reading Bob's book! --Jim Kaiser, Audio Educator, Engineer, AES Past President, Nashville, TN Katz is unusual as an author in combining a high-flying day job--and all the secrets that mastering usually entails--with a desire to communicate and demystify technology and methods. He's now turned his attention to the bugbear of high-end and addressed the iTunes generation. You know you're going to want to read it. --Zenon Schoepe, Executive Editor, Resolution Magazine, United Kingdom Bob Katz turns the dry, but critically important, technical side of mastering into an engaging easy read, and does it without sacrificing depth or completeness. The beautiful graphics and clear writing style offer a masterful education for the reader. --Alan Silverman, Adjunct Professor, NYU Steinhardt, Dept. of Music and Performing Arts Professions, Adjunct Instructor, NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, and www.arfmastering.com, NYC iTunes is a reality of today's production world.iTunes Music helps shed some new light on this mystifying topic. From the best way to handle metadata and higher sample rates to coding and final delivery, this informative work is the "go-to" manual for modern music mastering. --Rich Tozzoli, Grammy-nominated mixer, producer, composer, and writer, NJ, Mastered for iTunes… will be the standard from now on.
