Conclusion: Reassessing Sound Design as a Collective Endeavor Bibliography Index"ReviewsDivergent Tracks reveals a first-hand account of the behind-the-scene world of postproduction film sound in the 1990s, a key moment when industry professionals grappled with the disruptive transition from analogue to digital technologies. In her masterful account, Dr. Ament rigorously details how three geographically distinct film communities each made critical contributions to the development of digital film sound and how their innovative practices changed the way we listen to the movies. I anticipate that Dr. Ament’s book will change how we also regard the role of sound designers and their post-production teams by helping us all better recognize their major contributions to the craft of moviemaking as creative professionals in their own right. * Richard Lawrence Edwards, Director for the Center for Teaching & Learning, University of California, Riverside, USA * Divergent Tracks reveals a first-hand account of the behind-the-scene world of postproduction film sound in the 1990s, a key moment when industry professionals grappled with the disruptive transition from analogue to digital technologies.
