Amazing!!

I was constantly finding myself disappointed with the finished products to my band's music because comparing it to what you hear on the radio it was awful in comparison. After studying this book my mixes sound way more professional and i've never been so proud of my work until now. Highly recommended!!

Excellent for the audiophile

As an audiophile I truly enjoyed the book. It gave me clear and usable insight into why some of my recordings sound the way they do. It also allowed me to very quickly criticize some of my not so professionally mixed music. This includes classic and pro brands like "Deutsche gramophone and London" that you would expect to be top notch. They are not always perfect. For the professional it gives the philosophy of the professional mixers without much detail.

Great Book

I began to learn with the first few pages of this book. This book is good, it's set up like a round table with professional mix masters.
Little did I know how much I had to learn.I recommened this book.

some good nuggets, but not enough

There are some interesting tips and tricks mentioned in this book, and it increased my confidence (after reading the many different and contradictory approaches in the interviews) in following my own instincts next time I do a home recording project. The main problem is that almost everything in the book is there twice- organized by interview, and again by subject area. So it's like reading the same book twice, organized two different ways. That said, most of the content is informative, and just keep in mind the amount of content is half of what you'd expect based on the page count, before deciding to buy.

Something good to start with

Now this book had me going when I was new in recording and mixing. Frustration comes when you do not know anything in the field of mixing. But with this, I had something to refer to. I recommend this one for other beginners like me.
