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.

Ironically, horribly produced audio
Narrator sounds like she is too far away from mic with reverb. She also slurs words, cannot pronounce Justin Bieber or Paul McCartney's names correctly nor paying attention to her own words as the inflection of words and content are not in sync. The S's are killing my ears. What a bad production and content was not as advertised.

Not much actually said that was helpful...
I was looking for practical application and this book is most definitely not that.
It felt more like a college essay with constant name dropping and vague references.
The book could easily be called... “There’s no right way to do it and I can’t help you.”
The narrator was terrible. Mispronounced names, bad production (ironically, as stated in another review) etc.
In an attempt to find some useful info I had to listen at double speed only to find that nothing of substance was ever revealed.
Please... if you are searching for practical application information, look somewhere else.
Complete waste of time.

Would not recommend
The writing takes forever to get to its point, however the biggest let down of this audio book is the narrating. Constant unnecessary pauses and incorrect inflections make this very hard to listen to.
