ahaha! yeah, now you know what kind of dreams (eventually nightmares) I was having after the peter frampton experience.



Sorry for not mentioning that part!





:D cheer up. I wasn't trying to make it personal. I was just trying to keep the lines open on that specific book. For the record, I respect your opinion. :)

I got a little too foward on that closing statement.


I'm just honestly a little disapointed with myself for not being able to think of a good book that cuts straight to the chase. :(

I guess really thinking about it now, mixing is such an art, that I don't see how somebody can really write a word-for-word book on mixing.

Just the luck of meeting seasoned veterans to teach the young (those who diserve it). Either that or we can wait until an Andy Wallace or a David Botrill goes crazy and decides to spill the beans on mixing.





Dont mind me, im just the forum loser.



But really the book is useful.

It just stunk of that elitist gear feel.

But when you are at the level of BK you have a right to demand the highest when it comes to mastering.
 
I cant admit ot owning many mastering/mixing books so I dont have a lot to compare to but....

Mixing with Your Mind by Michael Stavrou (google for it I cant be arsed to find the link now :P) blew me away and INSTANTLY improved my abilities as an engineer by a very significant amount.

Its a bit 'home made' and theres some dodgy grammar and spelling going on in places, but for a REALLY fresh take on engineering techniques, you cant go wrong, honestly.

Dont let Southside see that.




Yes i got to agree with you.

I have
Mastering audio
Mastering engineers HB
Mixing engineers HB
The art of mixing
just about any other mixing/mastering book that is reputedly worth owning, and by far the best book of the lot is Mike Stavrous book.

who is Southside?

If Stavrou's book is the best, whats the next best (or more accurately which one is going to teach me something Stavrou's didn't?)
 
To be honest with you.

None of them.

But the art of mixing is worth a read.

But the others are just primarily a gear fest wank, that make you feel inferior, unless you are switching on Sonic Solution and B & W Nautilus speakers.

Sontec, but im sure ill get wanked on by Southside with Fletcher Jizz.

The other books are a waste of time and money and if i could spare the energy id sell em to anyone, but i cant be fucked with the postage.

Doesn't mean I'm above the books, there just highly disappointing.
