I learned a lot!

All of the basics of getting your sound to your audience in an easy-to-read . . .and understand . . .format. I've been doing live music performance for 30+ years, and thought I knew what I was doing. I do much better now. I recommend this book to anyone who uses a PA system, or places speakers, or builds speaker cabinets, or performs with amplification.

Sound analysis

Good for details, however was looking for a book a little lighter and more specific on what does a good sound system look like. For someone that want to know to total story, this the book. If you don't mind wading through a lot of detail, you can find all your answers. In a hurry, wrong book for you.

WHAT DID HE SAY!?!?

I don't want to mislead anyone, but I have been playing Bass for 20+ years and until now, never worried about the sound system as it was either very simple and/or handled by someone else. Two things have since happened, we have grown in our sound needs and somehow, I ended up purchasing the system(s).I was really looking for a very simple book with simple hook up techniques. I do not think the book is written all that well for "Beginners" to understand and have had to read and re-read many areas to get a handle on it. It may serve its purpose for others, but I did not find the title "Basics of Sound" to deliver.

Good basic information

Full fills my need to understand what components I need to fill out my home audio systems.

Good introduction to doing live sound - not deeply technical or too long

I found this to be a good introduction to doing live sound for folks who have some interest and aptitude. It's not deeply technical, and it doesn't take that long to read/study. I think most audio novices who have the inclination to do any reading on the subject will appreciate this book. I only read it once several months ago, but I would have appreciated this back when I started.

Over simplified

This book should only be read by the most novice of aspiring sound personele, at best. Some areas are terribly missleading and, at times, will leave out profound information that will simply get you in trouble. The saying, "I know just enough to be dangerous" is just the feeling I get from this book. It will leave the reader with a false self confidence of professional audio that, when given the opportunity, may land them in over thier heads or achieving undesirable results. For a quality start, check out Yamaha's Sound Reinforcement book.

Not what I expected

I bought this as a person with a technical background and found it very sparse. I should have noted how few pages there were. The topics are just introduced and then some parts are explored a little more deeply. This results in a very patchy coverage. I would not recommend it.
