Synopsis
Ever since 1926, whenThe Jazz Singerbroke the silence of the silver screen, sound has played an integral role in the development and appreciation of motion pictures. Fourteen years after the advent of talkies, Disney'sFantasiaupped the ante by introducing fully directional sound called Fantasound to theater audiences. After myriad experimental and moderately successful multichannel processes, motion picture sound really came of age in 1977, when the popularity ofStar Warshelped entrench Dolby Stereo as the dominant surround sound process in theaters. Dolby Surround, and later, Dolby Digital, also became the preferred sound in home theater systems, as more and more people thrilled to the cinematic flybys of jet planes and the ricochet of gunfire in their own living rooms.

    Well packaged, shipped fast. There was a name in marker on the first page that was missed/not mentioned when it had been communicated that the book only had underlining in pencil. Overall description was good. Thanks.
