Good stuff. Can’t beat it for the price.

I’ve been doing this stuff for almost 20 years and I still got a lot out of this. I enjoy learning new workflows and things being explained in different ways. I buy lots of books and magazines to always be learning. Most of the time I feel disappointed upon finishing them. That was not the case here. In fact, I’m going to read it again. For the price it absolute can’t be beat. Looking forward to reading his other offerings.

'at the end of the day we're all artists and we just want to make good music, so it's important to master these tools as quickly as possible.'

conceptual approaches to mixing served alongside profoundly simple but recalibrating adages. great for mixers that are either just beginning, or are guilty of seeing the forest for the trees.

Insightful

I read a handful of books, I feel like this book is the perfect summery that I can refer to often. Also like he said his ideas allowed me to see the bigger picture. As much complicated theory’s I heard this made them easier to use.

I now better understand compression and how to use compressors.

The authors simple explanations helped me to better understand how to use compression in an everyday setting. My mixes are much better for it, the section on EQ is great as well.
