Desktop Mastering Pap/DVD Edition

Welcome to the enchanting world of an audio renaissance man. Steve Turnidge has been committing acts of audio magic for over a quarter century. I first met him in the R&D lab at a start-up company where he was helping design some of the industry’s first MIDI and digital audio products. As the years passed he assembled the worlds first Firewire audio device on his kitchen table, cofounded one of the first Internet music companies in his living room, and carved a niche for himself as an accomplished mastering engineer in his spare bedroom. I’ve always wondered what drove this man to live on the edge and reach to such heights. Thanks to this book, I now understand. Come inside and take a technical, artistic, and metaphysical audio mystery tour as Turnidge reveals his passion and secrets for success. –Bob Moses, Pro audio product designer, Firewire pioneer, and AES Executive Director

This book tells the whole story! You will find the processes and the principles described in an easy-to-learn format with lots of real-world examples. Steve’s experience mastering hundreds of records and the audio examples tell you step by step how to master your music, and his wisdom is insightful. I’ll be recommending this book to students interested in the art and science of mastering. –Steve Malott, Producer/Engineer, Faculty, Shoreline Community College, Northwest University
