Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Half of Flash is AUDIO, not just visual: Don't let bad sound ruin your great looking Flash site. Flash Audio Magic is organized into six projects-based sections, each of which contains several stepped-through tutorials for mastering a critical component of creating and integrating audio with Flash. These six sections are followed by four appendices completely covering the myriad resources on the book's CD and how to use them, keyboard shortcuts, bibliography (books and web sites), and more. The CD-ROM includes trail version of Flash, ACID Pro 3.0, copy of ACID Xpress, Vegas Audio 2.0, SoundForge XP, 4.5, library of ACID loops, FLA, SWF and WAV examples, list of online resources. Flash Audio Magic is not tied to a specific rev of Flash.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Finally a Book Dealing with Audio in Flash
As with any book of this type, you buy it and hope that there's something you can glean from it that is useful.

This book, while far from a complete reference, has already provided me with some good tips on a current project. Flash and audio is partly the subject along with the programs that create or enhance audio such as Acid Pro and SoundForge, and how you use the results in Flash.

If you don't have any advanced audio applications, don't buy this book; you'll likely be disappointed ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - This Book is not for everyone

I bought the book because I'm interested in better audio for my projects, but after reading about 1/2 the book, I'm going to have to put it away until I have a better understanding of actionscripting. I would not recomend this book to the beginner or even intermediate designer.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Flash designers need not ignore this book!
I love Flash, and I am an audio designer for over 20 years. It has baffled me how so many great Flash designers wow me visually and totally ingore the power of streaming audio in Flash. Brad Kozak has organized this information and hit the nail on the head of what it takes to make quality audio, covers the tools and techniques to do it right are allin this book. I bought it as a reference, but I suggest it be required reading for anyone designing Flash presentations for the web and CDroms. Silent movies didn't ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book for Multimedia!
This is a great book, especially the style used in writing the actual code. Great instruction on using audio editing programs, and how they relate to the Flash projects. Excellent instruction for linking audio button to animated button. Amazing demonstration of "Multiple Logic" for button behavior. Great video game instruction. I like that there is a website for it, and I really appreciate that the entire project is included on CD-Rom to study. I am inspired by the chapter illustrating how to define the project ...
