Hello,
first I want to apologize that I had to post this book tip here - honestly.
I got no response from Northernsounds so far for an official add, so please
be patient (@Admin, please contact me via e-mail, stored in my profile!).
I just want to announce a new book, which has been released:
The Composer’s Approach Volume 1 - Principles on Room Acoustics and Techniques for Digital Orchestras
ISBN-13: 9783837084535
http://www.the-composers-approach.com/book.jpg
It is mainly about how to place dry samples in virtual room.
Starting point are information about room acoustics, and why we can locate a sound source in a room quite well.
Further on it is described how to use this knowledge within a sequencer.
Here is the offical product description:
This book explains the principles on room acoustics and basic working techniques for sample-based orchestras.
Learn the basics of sound localization and how to use this knowledge to place any instrument in a virtual room –
independently of the music software used. Benefit from the detailed value tables of an example orchestra seating
(American seating), and create realistic panning and room depths instantly with your dedicated plug-ins.
The procedures are described step by step and are directed at any musician working with orchestra libraries.
Book contents:
• General Room Acoustics
• Sound Localization
• Early Reflections
• Room Depths
• General How-To
• Walkthrough for Cubase 4 and Samplitude 10
• Examples for SIR2, Origami, DreamVerb, and Other Plug-Ins

Best regards,
Mike
