당신이 그렇게도 알고 싶어하던 마스터링에 대한 기술이 한권의 책으로 완성되었습니다!
이 책을 통해 일류 마스터링 하우스와 그들의 장비를 엿볼 수 있으며 멋진 마스터를 만드는 비결과 주파수 밸런싱 및 디더링의 원칙을 배울 수 있습니다. CD가 어떻게 작동하는지, 어떻게 만들어지는지 설명되어 있으며 별도의 챕터에서는 과거 비닐 레코드를 어떻게 마스터링하고 제작했는지 그 역사도 다루고 있습니다.
이 책은 스테레오 마스터링을 광범위하게 다루면서 또한 서라운드 마스터링과 멀티 채널 등이 주도하게 될 미래까지 내다보고 있습니다. 마스터링의 거장들인 Bernie Grundman, Bob Ludwig, Glenn Meadows, Doug Sax 등과의 인터뷰도 실려있습니다.
