The Bloomsbury Handbook of Music Production
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Music Production provides a detailed overview of current research on the production of mono and stereo recorded music. The handbook consists of 33 chapters, each written by leaders in the field of music production. Examining the technologies and places of music production as well the broad range of practices – organization, recording, desktop production, post-production and distribution – this edited collection looks at production as it has developed around the world. In addition, rather than isolating issues such as gender, race and sexuality in separate chapters, these points are threaded throughout the entire text.

The end of silent predators: First cases of active sound production in batoids from the Mediterranean Sea and its potential implications
The production of sound in terrestrial animals has been extensively studied, yet documentation of sound production in fish remains comparatively limited. Furthermore, certain groups such as elasmobranchs have traditionally been regarded as silent predators. This study presents two cases of active sound production in batoids, marking the first documented records in the Mediterranean Sea. Between November and December of 2023, multiple encounters with batoids were observed in the important shark and ray area of Marina Alta, Spain. Four distinct species were documented, with active sound production, in the form of clicks, recorded in two species: the rough skate,
Raja radula
, and the marbled electric ray,
Torpedo marmorata
. These clicks were produced while opening and closing their mouths, accompanied by the movement of their pectoral fins, both cases presumably associated with an agonistic display of defense against the divers, perceived as a threat. The clicks were produced when the threat was close, and as it moved away from the divers, the frequency of the clicks decreased until they ceased.

The recording, mixing, and mastering reference handbook
The Recording, Mixing, and Mastering Reference Handbook provides an easy-to-read guide for music-making in the studio setting, from equipment fundamentals to recording and mixing almost any instrument. In six sections, lessons give a comprehensive introduction to microphone settings and techniques, audio processing and effects, controlling acoustics, and history lessons on songs recorded with a given technique. The second half of the handbook delves into background theory on microphones, EQ-filters, compressors, and acoustics to give the reader a general understanding of practical recording techniques before acquiring deeper comprehension of the tools and the recording processes.

Critical Approaches to the Production of Music and Sound
Who produces sound and music? And in what spaces, localities and contexts? As the production of sound and music in the 21st Century converges with multimedia, these questions are critically addressed in this new edited collection by Samantha Bennett and Eliot Bates. Critical Approaches to the Production of Music and Sound features 16 brand new articles by leading thinkers from the fields of music, audio engineering, anthropology and media. Innovative and timely, this collection represents scholars from around the world, revisiting established themes such as record production and the construction of genre with new perspectives, as well as exploring issues in cultural and virtual production.

Description of the behavioural contexts of underwater sound production in juvenile green turtles Chelonia mydas
Green sea turtles
Chelonia mydas
have the ability to hear and produce sounds under water, with some of them potentially involved in social communication. To investigate the potential biological function of these sounds, we used a combination of acoustic, video and multi-sensor recordings of 23 free-ranging juvenile green turtles and we examined the co-occurrences of sounds with behaviours or external events. Our study revealed that most of the sounds were produced when the sea turtles were resting or swimming. However, four sound types were produced in more specific contexts. Long sequences of rumbles were recorded after sunset and mainly during resting. All these rumbles appear to have been produced by several individuals recorded simultaneously, suggesting that rumbles may be used for social interactions. The frequency modulated sound was highly associated with scratching behaviour. The grunt that was produced occasionally when green turtles were vigilant or approaching a conspecific. The long squeak was produced significantly by a small number of individuals in the presence of humans. The grunt and the long squeak may be the first evidence of an alarm or warning signal for intra-specific communication in green turtles. Our results mark a significant milestone in advancing the understanding of sound production in the behavioural ecology of sea turtles. Further experimental investigations (i.e., playback experiments) are now required to test the hypotheses suggested by our findings. Warning signals could be used to prevent sea turtles of a danger and may contribute to their conservation.
Significance statement
Underwater sound production in Chelonioidea is yet not well documented. We investigated the contexts of sound production in green sea turtles. Our results show that juvenile green sea turtles produced at least 4 identified sounds in specific contexts. This is a crucial step, as it will provide a solid basis for understanding the acoustic behaviour of green sea turtles and for improving current conservation methods. To date, the lack of knowledge on sea turtle behavioural ecology and acoustic communication hinders the implementation of mitigation measures to effectively reduce mortality and disturbance from human activities. Our findings offer the possibility of using species-specific sounds in a deterrent system to prevent them from potentially dangerous areas, including areas where seismic surveys, construction work, or areas with fishing activities (fishing nets) occurs with the aim of reducing the risk of temporary or permanent hearing damage or accidental by-catch.

Recording orchestra and other classical music ensembles
\"Recording Orchestra and Other Classical Music Ensembles explores techniques and methodologies specific to recording classical music. Whether a newcomer or a seasoned engineer looking to refine their skills, this book speaks to all levels of expertise and covers every aspect of recording symphonic and concerto repertoire, opera, chamber music, and solo piano. With a focus on the orchestra as an instrument and sound source, Recording Orchestra and Other Classical Music Ensembles features sections on how to listen, understanding microphones, concert halls, orchestra seating arrangements, how to set up the monitoring environment, and how to approach recording each section of the orchestra. Offering concise information on preparing for a recording session, the role of the producer, and mixing techniques, a \"quick-start\" reference guide with suggested setups also helps to introduce the reader to the recording process. A companion website, featuring audio and video examples of various techniques, further reinforces the concepts discussed throughout the book. This new edition has updated and expanded material, including new chapters on classical crossover projects, film score recording, and immersive/3D recording and mixing, as well as a number of new case studies, making this an essential guide for students, researchers and professionals recording classical music\"-- Provided by publisher.
