Book Reviews of The Mixing Engineer's Handbook, Second Edition
Book Review: Very useful...
Summary: 5 Stars
I found a lot of really useful information in this book. I do have to add that a "handbook" to me would be something more along the lines of a tightly written technical reference...but with that said, I'm glad this book wasn't that. I'm not all that into the interspersed "celebrity mixer" comments or the interviews with same that make up a third of the book. But in all honesty, I'll probably eventually read them all and find them to be useful too. So all in all: another Bobby Owsinski must-have for your studio shelf.
