If It Sounds Good, It Is Good: A Guide to Audio Signal Processing

This practical guide to signal processing dedicates a chapter to each audio effect, including EQ, Compression, Gating, Distortion, Reverb, Delay, and Pitch-Shifting, just to name a few. Numerous well-known songs are referenced throughout, with explanations of how these processors were used to shape.

Go beyond using plug-in presets, tips and tricks, YouTube tutorials, and advice from strangers on audio forums. Filter out the noise so that you can focus on developing your sense of musical and sonic taste.

After dedicating some time to learn about and use each processor, you’ll create your own internal sound database to draw from, a sort of mental map. You’ll be better able to create an exciting experience for the listener, reaching them on an emotional level. Most listeners don’t even necessarily care how it sounds, but instead how it makes them feel. Does it make them want to keep listening, sing along, move their bodies, cry, or any other emotional or physical reaction to it?

Learning how to work with these audio tools effectively and internalize their sound will expand your potential. It will empower you to use whatever it takes to transform the sound into what you think it needs to be. If it sounds good, it is good.
