ABSTRACT

When we make a recording, in effect we’re actually capturing and storing sound into a memory media so that an original event can be re-created at a later date. If we start with the idea that sound is actually a concept that describes the brain’s perception and interpretation of a physical auditory stimulus, the examination of sound can be divided into four areas:

n The basics of sound n The characteristics of the ear n How the ear is stimulated by sound n The psychoacoustics of hearing.
