4 out of 5 stars Excellent resource.......2007-10-18

The best thing is that this book has a CD-rom that gives you simplified with tests every one the the chapters. You can practice your knowledge gained at the end of every chapter using written tests.

I would have liked if the images had color. They're all white and black or drawings (which are really good too).

4 out of 5 stars textbook- arrved- matched description.......2007-09-28

I'm pleased with the book, the condition, the price. I didn't ask for rushed delivery and it took about 2 weeks to arrive.

5 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2007-09-28

This book is very easy to read and learn from. The CD is great for practice exams. I love it!

2 out of 5 stars ICKY BOOK.......2007-01-20

As a speech pathology student who was required to take an anatomy class with this being the required text - this book was horrible. In each chapter there is sooo much missing information and holes and gaps in the information that it made learning anatomy that much harder. The only good thing about this book is that it comes with a helpful anatomy cd for the cdrom... i preferred the Netter anatomy book instead.

5 out of 5 stars Great book, Great CD.......2007-01-04

This book helped me to get a great grade in my class. The diagrams and illustrations are very helpful. The CD-Rom is extremely helpful since it has color illustrations and quizzes in each section. I really advise all users to utilize the CD-Rom!

4 out of 5 stars Lots to learn in Auditon 2.......2007-03-09

A great book and cd of data. Because of not the greatest help files and no tutorials that came with Audition 2.0 this program while very powerful can be quite intimidatiing. Classroom in a book is very helpful in getting started and learning how to use the program.

3 out of 5 stars . . . for the cautious.......2007-02-18

Could be considered a waste of time by many who are more experienced with applications of this sort. The difficult part is sticking to the tutorials and not wandering off on your own. Everything covered here can be accessed via the help files and user guide. Adobe might want to consider putting a little more effort into features such as a midi sequencer than reiterating itself.

3 out of 5 stars EXASPERATING BUT INDISPENSIBLE.......2006-09-21

Above all, make sure the version of Audition 2.0 Classroom in a Book IS FOR YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM. Also understand that you must have the program to make sense of the manual.

Classroom in a Book is a good guide, but it has two omissions.

Anyone is in their rights to expect that a guide of this sort would have at least a few passages about live recording---but there is exactly one passing sentence in the entire manual about live recording. In Multitrack View the tracks have a panel wherein (among a great many other virtual dials and buttons and such) there is an "M" button, a "S" button, and an "R" button. "M" is for mute, which is explained more than once (even more than twice over the course of the book). "S" is for "Solo", which is also explained to its death over and over again. But as for the "R" button there is only one sentence regarding it.

"R" is "Armed for Record".

Now, maybe someone with a background in audio-editing software knows full well what "Armed for Record" means. Even for a rank beginner like me it wasn't that hard to figure out, I'll admit, but still for a book to go on and on about the other two buttons and to just mention the third term without any further comment seems to me a fundamental lapse. In my case it made for the beginning of a series of exasperating stumbles.

Going at it blind, I simply clicked on "R" and got a message informing me that the best recording was achieved by switching to ASIO. I knew that ASIO meant "Audio Stream In/Out" and had something to do with the new sound card that I had installed. The old sound card that had originally come with the computer was still in there, but apparently from what the message said I would only get mediocre results if I didn't switch by going to Edit and clicking on Audio Hardware Set-Up and following instructions from there on. Needless to say, this was easily done, and in seconds I had switched the program to my new audio card, which any intermediate or advanced user would have known to do from the get-go. Why install the card and not make sure the program was set to it? Ordinarily I would not even admit to anybody that I had to be told to do this; it's embarrassing; but still Audition is a very involved program; there's a lot to learn; and I was just very new to this whole business.

Anyway, I switched, and that should have been the end of it, but sadly the minute I switched my "R" buttons went gray and became inoperable! What's that? Maybe there's no problem on a Mac; I wouldn't know. All I know is that I'm a Windows XP Home Edition guy as I write this; and I lost my "R" buttons!

To say this upset me and got me mad is an understatement. The next morning I was in a better frame of mind and logically went over the steps and saw that there was a pattern to what was happening. For some reason switching to ASIO will gray out the "R" buttons, but if you close the program and go back to it you'll have your "R" buttons back and still be in ASIO.

It's that simple, but there's no mention of it in the book.

Of course, "Armed for Record" must be followed up by clicking on the circular red button on what is called the "Transport Panel" at the bottom of the screen. You're left to guess this, but anyone who has operated a ghetto blaster or a VCR knows what that red circle is; but still it would nice for Adobe to spell this out for us intimidated newbies.

The other big omission gets back to the same lapse as the other one. The book does not bother to point out that switching to ASIO in Multitrack View will not carry over to Edit View. It may not seem like a big deal, but I freaked out when my stuff sounded so weak in Edit View. I couldn't figure it out. The louder I got it in Edit View the more obnoxiously deafening it became in Multitrack View because the two "views" were coming at me through two entirely different sound cards!

Finally I realized what the problem was. Duh . . .

On the positive side in the last analysis it's actually very nice that the two windows can have different settings to let me know how the same file will sound on different computers. My thing with this will be podcasting, and podcasting is about posting on the Net, so one should be aiming at a happy medium that accommodates ordinary cards and quality cards alike. I'm getting better and better at it. The quality will never be a sound stage level thing, but I'm fast approaching the same smoothness of an FM radio commercial.

So go with this book, yes, but keep my comments in mind as you go.

Great reference item. the book is well written and easy to follow. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best A&P books for SLPs!.......2000-08-30

This book was required reading in my graduate program and I am thrilled that it was! I have worked in both acute care as well as school settings and have found this book to be extremely helpful from both ends of the spectrum. An absolutely fantastic desk reference, especially in the acute care setting!

5 out of 5 stars A good friend.......2000-08-15

I knew Mr. Zemlin personally when he lived in Brimson Minnesota. I saw the first edition when he first got it off the press and I was very impressed. Sorry to say that Mr. Zemlin has since passed away in 1998. His knowledge of a&p was far greater than any other person I have ever known.

5 out of 5 stars I'm glad my professor chose this book for the class.......2000-08-10

This book is probably the best a&p book for the speech and hearing sciences. It is difficult to read at first, I will not life to you about that, but it is comprehensive, and you will learn a lot. What I like best is the book being divided into systems: respiratory, phonatory, articulatory, etc., because that is a good way to study, in systems, and then you can relate one system to another, and so on.

    Book Description

    Essential principles, practical examples, current applications, and leading-edge research.

    In this book, Thomas F. Quatieri presents the field's most intensive, up-to-date tutorial and reference on discrete-time speech signal processing. Building on his MIT graduate course, he introduces key principles, essential applications, and state-of-the-art research, and he identifies limitations that point the way to new research opportunities.

    Quatieri provides an excellent balance of theory and application, beginning with a complete framework for understanding discrete-time speech signal processing. Along the way, he presents important advances never before covered in a speech signal processing text book, including sinusoidal speech processing, advanced time-frequency analysis, and nonlinear aeroacoustic speech production modeling. Coverage includes:

    Speech production and speech perception: a dual view

    Crucial distinctions between stochastic and deterministic problems

    Pole-zero speech models

    Homomorphic signal processing

    Short-time Fourier transform analysis/synthesis

    Filter-bank and wavelet analysis/synthesis

    Nonlinear measurement and modeling techniques

    The book's in-depth applications coverage includes speech coding, enhancement, and modification; speaker recognition; noise reduction; signal restoration; dynamic range compression, and more. Principles of Discrete-Time Speech Processing also contains an exceptionally complete series of examples and Matlab exercises, all carefully integrated into the book's coverage of theory and applications.

    3 out of 5 stars Brode scope but not self consistent.......2005-09-21

    The book took very nice and broad scope of Signal Processing.
    Unfortunately not all subjects are disclosed self-consistent.
    The best benefit I get from chapters where the subject was already familiar from other sources.
    I could not recomend this book for initial aquintment with Signal Processing, although with some previous knowledge the book could be interesting.

    5 out of 5 stars well-written and extensive coverage of speech processing.......2003-06-15

    I had the pleasure of being a student of the author's at MIT when the course notes that later became this text were under development. Having learnt about speech processing from the author and these notes, I can knowlingly comment on the clarity and depth of the material in the text and can recommend it with confidence. The book takes the reader from a fundamental review of concepts in signal processing and probability/stochastic processes through the broad range of areas in speech processing. That the author is a leading researcher in this area is reflected in the coverage of recent research advances and a bibliography that can point the conscientious reader towards current publications if desired. I strongly recommend this text to anyone interested in learning about signal processing in the context of speech.

This new edition of the classic resource continues to provide the most clinically relevant information in a compact, accessible format.

        This is a very helpful book for beginning and seasoned speech therapists alike. It includes multiple ways to elicit a sound as well as therapy ideas.

          Book Description

          This debate-style reader is designed to introduce students to controversies in gender studies. The readings, which represent the arguments of leading psychologists and other social commentators, reflect a variety of viewpoints and have been selected for their liveliness and substance and because of their value in a debate framework. Students will be exposed to a rich, exciting, and emotionally and politically charged body of theory, research, and practice. TAKING SIDES: GENDER, containing 20 issues organized into six parts, presents hotly debated issues in contemporary scholarly and public discourse. Students will actively develop critical thinking skills by analyzing opposing viewpoints and reach considered judgments. The issues will challenge students to consider what is sex, what is gender, and when is either relevant, and why. They will discover that what might appear to be binary, biologically based distinction is so much more.

          An Instructor's Manual accompanies the book. For each issue, the following have been provided: a synopsis of each author's position on the issue, teaching suggestions, and multiple-choice and essay questions. The teaching hints consist of suggestions for generating class discussion around the themes raised by the clashing essays.

          I did not know what GarageBand was until I explored the icons on my new MAC. Needed help here. Logged on to Amazon.com and found Mary Plummer's book GARAGEBAND 3. I am learning the program by doing the lessons in the book, supplemented with CD lesson files. I am truly excited because it has opened a new world--creating music tracks. Each lesson is a building block, and Ms Plummer's instructions are easy to understand and follow.

          5 out of 5 stars Great training aid.......2007-06-08

          An excellent training program for Macintosh's Garageband home recording studio for beginners. Easy to follow and use, but quite comprehensive at the same time. I wouldn't expect less from Apple.

          1 out of 5 stars not happy.......2007-03-26

          it didn't come w/ the cdrom that is needed to learn these lessons. SUCKS.

          4 out of 5 stars Fills a void.......2007-03-18

          Confidential to Mr Stiv - David Pogue has not written a "missing manual" for the current version of Garageband, which is currently 3 and soon to be supplanted by version 4, so would a book about Garageband 2 (which is as high a version as Mr Pogue's got to) really be better? I hope Mr Pogue or someone else over @ O'Reilly issues something for version 4 in that "missing manual" series, don't get me wrong.

          After 7 years recording and mastering audio with Acid and SoundForge, I still consider them superior to this member of the iLife family. Garageband is simultaneously non-intuitive and rather primitive in comparison, but alas, there's no Mac versions of either Acid or SoundForge (please hound SonyMedia about this shortcoming, people) which I find easier to use by virtue of not having to need to perform many extra tasks, redundantly, as Garageband requires. And Logic is 'way pricey, even the Express version. So Garageband it is, and this manual has proven quite useful. I feel that the Apple computer currently has a shortcoming which needs addressing, too: there is no native program included that allows "what you hear" audio to be recorded, which Windows has facilitated since version 3.0 - the audio recorder applet.

          5 out of 5 stars Excellent learning tool.......2007-01-25

          GarageBand 3: Create and Record Music on a Mac is encyclopedic in scope and of great interest to anyone with an interest in digital audio production, including podcasting. Although I use a Mac for work, this book and its accompanying DVD provided my first introduction to GarageBand 3--Apples' digital audio production software. Having heard good things about the program, I was already intrigued to learn more. However, as this was my first in-depth exposure to any type of digital audio software, I was also fairly intimidated-I was apprehensive that I would need to be a competent musician before I even began. Despite these initial apprehensions I quickly found GarageBand3, by Mary Plummer, to be extremely well-written. It is easy to read. The book is well organized--full of clearly laid out, easy-to-follow instructions and examples.

          The book provides details on how to record, arrange and mix music using GarageBand. In addition, there are instructions for how to record your own instruments, as well as more than 1,000 loops (royalty free) that are included with the program. And, once the project is exported it can be easily integrated with other iLife Applications.

          The book begins with an overview of GarageBand 3's interface, which I was surprised to find fairly intuitive. The Timeline is also easy to understand and its workings are the subject of Lesson 2. Lessons 3-6 cover arranging music and introduce how to use Software Instruments, Real Instruments and Apple Loops. Lesson 7 examines mixing and adding effects. Lessons 8 and 9 look at using the software for podcast creation and, even scoring movies. The final Lesson covers various information on exporting your completed projects.

          Exercises are provided for each chapter. I found following along with them to be of tremendous benefit with learning the application. For example, the exercises for Lesson 8, Creating Podcasts, show you how to set up the voice tracks for your recording. Then the rest of the lesson builds on this initial project to show you how to work with multiple voice tracks, add markers and record sound effects to the Timeline. Learning more about podcasting was my primary motivation for reading this book and I was not disappointed. From the opening pages of this book I was spurred on to learn more. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about GarageBand and I would recommend GarageBand to anyone interested in learning more about podcasting.
