5 out of 5 stars The best book on mastering, and why recordings sound like they do   March 3, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've seen no better book on how mastering works, all the elements, what they mean and what they do.

Moreover, anyone involved with recorded music should read this. The insights into why things sound as they do, how all the steps, processes, tools (plugins and hardware) work are invaluable. Engineers of any skill level will benefit. Musicians, home studio operators will benefit as well understanding how to prepare you projects for best chance of success, and how to best work with any engineering professional you choose to involve in your production process.

Highly recommended!



4 out of 5 stars Good level of detail.   February 16, 2008

This book was exactly what I was looking for - a moderately technical and detailed reference. The only thing I don't like are the physical dimensions of the book.

This was a gift for my son-in-law, who works in the computer sound industry and he was thrilled.


5 out of 5 stars Mastering Audio Is Appropriately Titled   December 7, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

If you want to know what these mastering folks do and how to record
to prepare your efforts for mastering, this is the book. I have
read others and they do not provide the detail or the information
needed to see the big picture from both the technical and artistic
sides. This is a great read.
