Moulton Laboratories
the art and science of sound

Playback Platinum

Audio lecture series on CD, made with Digital Media Services partners Scott Loiselle and Mike Breault. Intended to give you an intense but quick audio introduction to a range of audio topics, including loudness, compression, distortion, stereo, reverb, eq, and digital audio.

Four CDs, with three lectures on each CD. Focused on how things SOUND. Quick. Painless, except for my seventh-grade guy humor. Reasonably fun, or so they told me at my competency hearing!
Volume 1: Loudness, Compression, Distortion
Dave Moulton explains how loudness, compression and distortion can vastly affect your recordings. Through these lectures you'll learn how to keep safe levels, tighten up a mix, and more.

Volume 2: Stereo Miking, Stereo Mixing, Reverb
Learn the way stereo works and how to make it work for your miking and mixing -- what's between Left and Right, how phantom images occur, how room situations work, and more.

Volume 3: Equalization, Parts 1, 2 & 3
Get to know the many types of equalization, learn what techniques contribute to successful mixes, and more.

Volume 4: Digital Audio: Sensory Listening Tests
