Description
People worldwide love to enjoy their preferred lifestyle. Music is a powerful lifestyle choice. It helps people shape and share their experiences. Music evolves, as does technology, culture and the music business. This book helps the reader to understand the changes to music and audio reproduction. Enabling them to make informed choices about music and the audio equipment they use. Thereby gaining richer musical experiences. This book explains why high-quality reproduction of music is hard. It identifies some factors that influence the quality of reproduction such as careful listening. Often discussions about music and audio ignore the role of the listener. Yet a person's disposition, sensory awareness and attention, affect how they perceive music and what they experience from it. As well as music students, teachers, and musicologists, the book will appeal to those with a passion for quality music and the quality reproduction of music.
