There is also a completely new chapter on how to get the most from mixing inside your computer, as well as a new section on the bass/drum relationship and how to make this difficult part of the mix easy. The book wraps up with insightful interviews with the top engineers in the fi eld, including George Massenburg, Allen Sides, Bruce Swedien, Elliot Scheiner, Andy Johns, Nathanial Kunkel, and several others. Join the tens of thousands of engineers who have used this book to master the art of mixing.

Summary: Great Reference!
Comment: Great place to start. Really builds a good foundation. The interviews are with the pros, as with all of Owsinki's books. I highly recommend all of Owsinki's books.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Useful information that assumes some background
Comment: Very useful information, interesting reading and thinking about what the different engineers have to say. I also like the sections it provides on the artistic aspect of mixing.
It assumes you're already somewhat familiar with mixing sound, like how to "sweep across the spectrum" to find the dominant frequency. But just reading through it improved the quality of the live mixes I do under less-than-ideal recording conditions.

Summary: 'THE' book on mixing technics
Comment: This is THE book to a getting-pro mixer and sound engineer. Very good tips, up to date comentaries and references, lots of state-of-art producers and engineers comments and references.... Well, a must-have, and i'm not getting any money to say that. I leave in Brasil, a blight on good comments and solid info about music production and recording... again, this book is the book for pro mixers and sound engineers trying to sound (way) a little better....
A must have.
My small studio thanks it!

Summary: Excellent for the audiophile
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great Book
Comment: 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.
