In the music world, the only rule is that there are no rules! You essentially have the freedom to record whatever you want, automate them in ways that you see fit, mix rhythms never before heard, and combine genres like it’s no one’s business. However, no matter what type of music you create, you want to make sure you’re putting good music out there so that people can fully enjoy your songs and you can take your career to new heights.

Most home studio engineers don't have a process to follow as they mix. As a result, they find themselves feeling unsure of where to begin, how to process individual tracks, make them all work together, and know exactly when their work is finished. Working like this can be frustrating since it often is time consuming and results in weak, lifeless mixes. That's where this book comes in handy.

Not written to be an audiobook
Overall this was a very interesting book and I got a lot from it. However there are a few issues I should point out. First the narration is a bit choppy. Some sentences feel like they have too many pauses where there is no reason for one and that gets notable after a while. Second the book itself has a lot of lists, the sorry of thing where you think you should own a hard copy because you might need to use it for reference. The section on microphones for example was a bit dull. It's almost a missed opportunity that there wasn't sound samples included in this format to illustrate certain points such as tone differences. Overall it was useful and enjoyable but not without flaws.
