Books?

I dunno - what do you mean?

Can't imagine that you are talking about audio levels - I figure you must have read/owned all the books on that already.

Are you meaning getting all us non-recording engineers to get our recordings to sound louder? Actually using all that fancy compression properly and stuff?

Do you mean loudness in the sense of shouting in flame wars? Again, I figure that you must have written a few books on that score as well.

So basically sonusman, I have no idea what you are asking.
 
Well...

Carrie was a pretty loud book....lots of screaming....ya know?
I guess anything by Steven King would be cool...
Did you know that he was a big Red Sox fan??? Funny huh?
I guess he had a big Cocaine habit too....gee...I wonder how he got all that Coke up in Maine....
I'll bet he bought it while he was in Boston for the Red Sox games...
Boy, Fenway Park....what a shame....they are gonna build a new stadium....no more green monster...
Landsdowne street will never be the same....
Did you know that Aerosmith owns a club on Landsdowne Street???
Right behind the Green Monster...I would wager that they get quite a few balls on their roof....ya think?
Well...Carrie...yeah.....
pretty loud book......:D
 
Well, Ed, it just so happens that I am an expert at relative loudness! You're in luck! Fortunately for you I like to hang out in the Songwriting Forum because its quieter in here.

My favorite book on realtive loudness is called "Ravens in Winter" You'd be amazed at how subtle changes in volume affect the kinds of communication taking place for ravens! They are really quite complex creatures! Of course, to the untrained human ear they all sound loud- but to the ravens themselves it is all relative.

My other favorite book that highlights the principle of relative loudness is "Tom Brown's Field Guide to Nature Observation and Tracking." You see, when stalking an animal you can often mask the sounds that your feet and body are making by moving with the wind and other natural noises. This allows you to make use of the relative loudness of the natural sounds to mask your own sounds. Viola! The animal cannot hear you because your sounds are wearing a mask and it doesn't recognize them.

Good luck in your studies! Feel free to email me if you need help understanding any of these basic concepts!

I want to cry out loud! ..er, .Relatively!!?
 
no sweat JoJo...Sonusman just blew a fuse....
Something to do with Moderation and....stuff:D

From what I understand...he is quite knoweldgable concerning recording issues...seems to have a fairly decent sense of humor as well but, you know....
some people just gotta get the round peg in the round hole....
Personally...I always try to put the triangular peg in the trapezoidal hole.....
A two pound mallet usually helps.:D
 
Everything's good... in moderation.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Jane's Book of Armaments is pretty much all about loud things.
 
My old band used to do a song called "If it's too loud, baby you're too old". :D Honest to goodness truth.
