The Foundation of Sound Design II -- essentially unchanged from last ed. 3. Developing the Concept and Design 27 -- essentially unchanged from last ed. 4.

(I.e., If you're researching Elizabethan music, there are now Internet-based resources for that (the Internet has become a 24-hour library). Also, will remove almost all references to different kinds of tape'that's a bit dated, so we'll address new resources (putting your library on a hard drive and how to organize that) **that's a major update throughout the book ? the use of the Internet and the computer as a tool. 5. The Sound Plot 65 -- We'll be revising the paperwork in a few ways ? getting rid of references to tape/analog equipment (tape decks, etc.) Hoping to also have new and additional examples of sound plots to include.

Recording, Editing, and Refining Cues 101 ? Major updates to this chapter include replacing analog references and writing updates regarding digital equipment, and discuss building cues with digital audio work stations, and updated information on sound cues, etc. (one example is that if tape decks are not used, you're not listening for a click of the tape ? you're now relying on other cues) 9.
