About Engineering the Sound & Music by Girish Patro

We must agree that the role of Arts, Commerce & Science are equally important in Career Development to survive, but we have lost the focus on ‘Arts’ or ‘Skills’ in our Education System which used to be our Assets.The goals to write this book are,

1. To develop and make a full-time career in Music Business, Music Performance, Audio Production and Sound Reinforcement and also motivate to manufacture Audio Electronic Products : The lessons describes the procedures and methods to develop a set of Skills and motivates the reader to become a self-trainable content creator, a performer, a service provider or an Audio Electronic Products’ Manufacturer.The lessons describe to learn responsibilities and motivates to find too many solutions for each problem and applying one of them according to the demand of time-period

2. To spread awareness about right informations regarding Music Business, Music Performance, Audio Electronics, Audio Production and Sound Reinforcement processes to the listeners (consumers, music lovers) : Learning awareness about Career Opportunities, Practical Applications, Work Spaces, Team Members and their Responsibilities ...etc are very much essential which are simplified and properly organised in the lessons.If we put an analogy of learning all about our audio industry with human body analysis, then the first lesson would be showing you a human body instead of explaining a human intestine.

3. To establish and maintain a long term business environment in Audio Industry : The lessons always motivate and encourage the reader to maintain transparency by monitoring and removing dirty politics and other related loopholes existing in Audio Industry through demanding and mentioning terms and responsibilities clearly in contract agreements.

The author may put some analogy as one of his methods to explain each lesson such as ‘Cooking Techniques’ as ‘Sound Mixing Techniques’; ‘Hot’ as ‘Loud’, where hot can be a touch or taste sensation and loud (loudness or volume control in your remote or a dedicated knob in your playback system) as a listening sensation.If we put an analogy of learning audio recording skills with riding a bike, then the author love to explain the bike riding skills, maintenance of a bike, introducing recent technology used, safety precautions for the biker, traffic rules and regulations, but the author hasn’t explained the features and functions of different products(different brands of bikes), because features and functions changes according to recent technology development.And features and functions of different products (different brands of bikes) can be learnt through their respective official websites so that the learner as a customer will make his / her own decision about purchasing a product (certain brand of a bike) as per his / her requirements.

In this book the author may have mentioned few products as examples to focus on the Technology applied in the products; that doesn’t mean he promote those products.We can’t rely on technology to correct major amount of errors because it has some limitations.For a limited time period, the technology can be used to correct a minimum amount of errors.It is better to use technology in methods for practicing more of the arts or skills so that the error will be reduced at the input.

About the Author

The Author, Girish Patro, is a well known Trainer in Music Production and Sound Engineering.He has trained more than 170 budding sound engineers, music performers, music educators at Sound Engineering Academy (Trivandrum), who are currently working at the Audio Industry in India and abroad.He also worked as a Sound Engineer Assistant at Omgrown Music Studio (Mumbai) who provide Music Production services to Ad Agencies and Film Production Companies.His work and workflow of each assigned task are appreciated, specially in Audio Editing.He found that most of the people are not aware of many informations regarding Career Opportunities in Audio Industry.Most of the budding sound engineers and music performers are deviated their responsibilities from “focusing on crafting and creating rich contents” to “focusing more on technical enhancement of poor contents / average quality of contents in their audio-visual products”.Thus he has decided to write a book which includes valuable informations, industry standard workflow procedures and methods to develop a set of skills used in Audio Production so that the reader will become a self-trainable content creator, performer, educator or service provider.
