The Human Side of Audio: beyond the technical and theoretical - Paperback

by Darío Peñaloza (Author)

This book is about the work philosophy of one of the most respected sound engineers in Latin America, where he points out in a simple and sharp way, the elements to highlight of human behavior regarding audio. Understanding the privilege of working the art of another, soft skills, time management for ear care, are some of the topics covered and accompanied by enriching anecdotes, which throughout its more than 37 years of career and with two Latin Grammy in his career (2014 Engineering & 2018 Instrumental), the author describes with his particular passion and humor."These pages distill the authenticity of this being of light, who is very good for "greet and not mistreat". No matter how many years of professional experience you readers have, it will be impossible for you not to recognize yourself in many of the situations that Darío describes in a simple, plain and easy to read way. You will also have the privilege of being able to learn from the abundant certainly simple tips, but not trivial at all that Darío gives us so generously, as well as from the many anecdotes that run through this book, becoming lessons that are treasured for life.""This writing should not be confused with a self-help book or a solemn treatise on morals and good customs applied to audio. Reading this book will not only make you reflect but also laugh and without a doubt, it will also make your mixes sound better."Cesar LamschteinVice President of the Audio Engineering SocietyMontevideo, Uruguay
