“Audio Post Production by Mark Cross is a clear, comprehensive, and enjoyable overview of the multi-dimensional world of postproduction audio. For the sound department, there are thousands of hours of teamwork that go on between the time the director yells 'Action!' and the picture rolls on the screen. This book details the role of each segment of that team and will be an excellent primer for anyone interested in one of the many career opportunities behind the scenes of our favorite art form.” (from Amazon)
