Why not give real audio examples of what your talking about

I thought it was nearly useless to just talk about something (reverb, compressors, etc) without actually giving audio examples. Therefore, didn’t get much out of this.

It was ok

It was not bad. I think I was expecting more based on the reviews. I think this book would benefit from more depth and more tactical advice on how to use of the 5 plug-ins. Overall a pretty enjoyable listen but it wasn’t a game changer for me.

Very educational and informative.

I got both the Step by Step Mixing book and audiobook. The feedback I would give to the author is the next time he writes and publishes another book on mixing, to present more pictures of various plugins with sample settings (EQ, compression, reverb, delay and saturation).

Great Intro and Scope

I liked the scope, simplicity, and succinctness of what Bjorgvin spoke about in this audiobook…

I could see myself going back to a Kindle version of this book from time to time as a reference and navigation on audio-mixing principles.

Just what I needed!

It might be strange to say, but I found this quite gripping. It has really inspired me to get in the studio and work on my mixes, incorporating all the things this book has taught me. It is pitched perfectly for someone like me, between beginner and intermediate level. It contains just the right amount of information to be thorough but not overwhelming. Five stars all day long!

Wonderful concise insight into mixing

This audiobook has provided me with a wealth of knowledge I previously didn't have in my 4 years attempting to mix audio.
