review 1: I'm a professional musician / engineer. And Mike Senior is more professional than I am. His book is packed with surprising insights and techniques which are - frankly - so simple that I while reading this, my forehead was beet red because I kept slapping it. And all the while, what he's saying is presented in a way that invites you to try his methods, all of which are quite sound (no pun intended, but there it is). A must have for every recording musicians bookshelf.
review 2: As a student with a classical background in a class full of people with either experience playing electric instruments or experience in music technology, I found myself confused and dragging behind. This book was my saviour. The step-by-step breakdown, full of explanations and background ... morein an easy-to-understand language was amazing and allowed me to complete my first mix successfully, even with no previous experience. Don't be worried when I say step-by-step breakdown: he doesn't say "Do this! It's the one and only way!" Rather, he shows various methods, explaining that not every method would work for every mix and even provides links to find out more about the different schools of thought. I really liked that he explained why he was doing things, instead of just saying "do this", as it helped me to adapt the methods to different situations and to really understand what I was doing, rather than following blindly. I would absolutely recommend this to any student or mixing beginner. I've heard it's also good for experienced mixers who are seeking to develop their skills, but I can't talk for that as I am not one of them! However, I can definitely see this as a book that remains on my shelf for reference and revision for a long time - beyond my student days. less
