Ethan Winer

A more complete description of my Audio Expert book is on my web site, along with errata, additions, and links to the Music Theory YouTube video that complements the book: http://www.ethanwiner.com/book.htm Ethan Winer is a reformed rock 'n' roll guitar and bass player who sold his successful software business in 1992 at the age of 43 to take up the cello. Ethan has, at various times, earned a living as a recording engineer, studio musician, computer programmer, circuit designer, composer/arranger, technical writer, and college instructor. In addition to a best-selling book about computer programming, more than 100 of his feature articles have been published in audio and computer magazines including Mix, PC Magazine, Electronic Musician, EQ Magazine, Audio Media, Sound on Sound, Computer Language, Microsoft Systems Journal, IBM Exchange, Strings, Keyboard, Programmers Journal, Skeptic, The Strad, Pro Sound News, and Recording. Ethan is also famous (some might say infamous) for his no-nonsense posts about audio science in online audio forums. Besides his interest in audio and computers, Ethan produced two popular Master Class videos featuring renowned cellist Bernard Greenhouse, and five CDs for Music Minus One including a recording of his own cello concerto. His Cello Rondo video has received more than a million views on YouTube and other web sites. Besides writing, playing, and recording pop tunes, Ethan has composed three pieces for full orchestra, all of which have been performed publicly. He has also played in several amateur orchestras, often as principal cellist. Ethan lives in New Milford, Connecticut, with his wife and two wonderful cats. In 2002 he started the company RealTraps to manufacture bass traps and other acoustic treatment, which he continues to this day. When he's not watching re-runs of The Simpsons on TV or writing music, Ethan enjoys cooking, and playing his collection of vintage pinball machines.
