My reading

The fundamentals of sound design was not overlooked in “Electronic Music and Sound Design”. This book starts from the bottom with basics by helping you understand the sound design/Max language. This industry standard software can be a complex language of sound design at first. The book had a couple of glossaries to make sure that the dialogue used throughout the book was understood. What I really appreciate is how Alessandro and Maurizio covered the principles and practice of digital synthesis. I didn’t know much about it but now have a better understanding because the writing was clear. I’ve only gotten through the chapter on synthesis. I chose to explore this chapter because I know I will used a lot of these principles and tips for our production play. I am not worried about learning the software (max), I am more concerned with why I’m actually using it as my sound design tool.
