Title: Practical and Inspirational
Product review: I'm what you might call a casual musician. Despite years of recording in a home studio, most recently on Sonar, my mixes have been completely hit or miss. Actually, make that almost exclusively "miss." Trial and error is so time consuming and uninspiring. This book is not for a beginner who needs all terminology explained. But I imagine even beginners could get a lot out of this book. The concepts are presented clearly, rationally, in an easy-to-read manner.I read this book over the weekend and tonight sat down with an old song. I re-mixed it completely in about 2 hours. Then I compared the new mix to the old mix. The new mix had constant levels (thank you, compression) and good distinct frequency eq allocations for the various instruments. The old mix sounded like it was recorded in a wet cardboard box.This book was a cheap investment for the insight it has given me.
