| From the Publisher When the first edition of this book was published in 1988, digital audio was the up and coming new technology - now it is the norm. The Art of Digital Audio has justly become regarded as the classic in the field and no other books have yet appeared to compete with it. It has been translated into Chinese, Spanish and Norwegian, so has a truly international readership. Now completely updated to reflect the enormous recent advances in the subject, this 3rd edition is even more comprehensive.
