If you're into audio engineering, this is a great music production book to add to your home recording studio collection. Packed with step-by-step proven methods.
Since 1999, I've worked with over 8,000 clients (that's 6-8 per week) in every genre imaginable. Working with this many clients gave me the rare opportunity to discover what areas most sound engineers are having problems with.
Most of the mixes clients submit are pretty good. The sound engineer definitely does not need to read a 400 page book on basic mixing techniques, or take a six week mixing course. They're way beyond that.
What they do need is a book that points out the most common mixing errors that most sound engineers make, so they can check their mixes for them. Problems they don't even realize their mixes suffer from. That's what "Song Mixing Secrets" is all about!
I Show You How To Quickly Fix These Common Problems -
Mix is too crowded, no space or clarity
Vocals can't cut through the mix
Inconsistent levels from section to section
Mix is too bassy, muddy
Mix is too bright, tinny, thin
Stereo field is weak (your song is really mono)
And More!!
This book is for someone who has a good understanding of basic mixing procedures. Sometimes as a solution to a problem, I might suggest compressing the lead vocal a bit. But, I don't get into detailed threshold and ratio settings. I assume you already know how to compress a vocal track.
I wrote this entire book in simple plain English (layman's terms). I eliminated all the words you never heard of and hi-tech jargon, so anyone at any level can understand and learn from this book.
You've invested hundreds, if not thousands, of hours into your music.
If you're serious about it, now's the time to make a very small financial investment in this book so your music will sound the very best it can!
I wrote this book so you can quickly learn (in a matter of days) the techniques, tips, and secrets that took me over 20+ years to learn!
