This book will give you a clear, organized, and concise procedure for creating your own ready for mastering mixes in a fraction of the time that using traditional protocols would take. Not as comprehensive as Mike Senior's book, but FAR more accessible and relevant to everyday mixing. I mean are you REALLY going to use keyed sidechain compression on that radio promo you're working on?
This book short, simple, and straight to the point. The author points out some of the problems that folks encounter when attempting to mix music in a home studio. The book introduces a new concepts of applying compression, limiting, panning, and listening. My only regret is that I didn't stumble upon this book sooner. It would've saved me a lot of time.Pro: Low cost. You can read this book entirely in about one hour.Con: It's a shame this book doesn't include picturesand focus on demonstrating the techniques using oneof the major Digital Audio Workstation software like Pro Tools,Cakewalk, or Reason. This book would've been so muchbetter had it been accompanied with video and some tracksto practice on.Despite that, this book is a very good read and addresses a lot of the issues people mixingin home studios commonly experience.
As songwriters and home recording enthusiasts, we often suffer from a severe case of information overload with respect to mix techniques, sample libraries, the next cool plugin, and other recording tools and technologies. So Amos Clarke is to be congratulated for writing a book that cuts through the noise to deliver some key workflow and mix techniques that will dramatically improve your mix results and productivity. Better mixes with less effort. What a concept! And you can be sure he knows what he’s talking about. Visit www.showpony.com and check out his credentials and some recent mixes. Then go ahead and buy the book.
I purchased this book some time ago and was immediately excited by the content because it seemed to speak to exactly where I was in my mixing development, but I chose to hold off on writing a review until I’d had the chance to put the techniques suggested by the author to use on the album I’m currently mixing.I’d consider myself an intermediate to advanced mixer – I’ve spent a lot of time educating myself on techniques, researching gear and outfitting my small studio with pro-level gear. I’d gotten to the level where I could create near commercial-quality recordings, but it took me a lot of time and was often a very frustrating endeavor. I’d spend a lot of time auditioning many different plugins, researching gear to find the next cornerstone piece that would get me closer to a pro sound, and my process was all over the place.This book was exactly what I needed. It refocused me on streamlining my process and workflow, choosing a few quality tools and learning them well, and spending less time researching and more time mixing. The process outlined by the author was extremely helpful to me and I can say that my latest mixes sound significantly better and more professional than the ones I was making just a few months ago.It’s the Golden Age of home recording, and there are more excellent avenues for learning than ever before. But the problem with a lot of the education available is that it’s bite-sized for easy consumption or focuses on one single technique that is often specific to a particular genre or style. This book provides a basic end-to-end workflow using tried and true techniques that could very well help you mix better, faster. It changed the way I approach mixing, and I’m personally really grateful for it.
Straight to the point! I spent a day reading this book and after 2 years of production I have reconsidered some aspects of my processes. If you need a technical and workflow inspiration - this is the right book. Not too long and not too short - the material that is taught seems very useful, and most importantly the author knows his craft!
I've been mixing my music for over 13 years but never have had chance to sit down and really commit to do a great mix. This book has given me a lot of good insights and tips that I would use in my next mix projects. I loved the simple explanations and how small tips are translated into large impact effects. I recommend this book for starters, or experienced people who's looking to learnd of how others take their approach
Amos was doing an amazing job publishing this guide. The book is full of practical information, explained in a great way. What I liked best is that when writing about some complex topics, Amos is helping us understanding with the help of some nice graphs.I can't wait to apply some of his advice!
VERY good. I'm well aware of the basic techniques but having it all broken down into simple, easy to implement, recipes... with straightforward explainations as to why? That's gold.I read a lot and don't see much out there laid out so pragmatically. No nonsense. Highly recommended. Already recommended to all my FB engineer buds. Get it,
