Reviews for The Mixing Engineer's Handbook 6th Edition

Possibly the greatest book on mixing ever written. Get this book if you're just starting to or if you want to learn more. - Dr. Kenneth on Amazon Just wanted you to know that I am using your Mix book as REQUIRED text in two of my college classes. It has been working out great!! The kids love it, and it makes my job VERY easy! - Bruce Tambling You helped me so much with that book, sir. Guess what? An album I completely recorded, mixed and mastered went #1 in the german album charts last week. . . incredible. - Martin Gundoz Your 5 elements frame work has been a watershed for me. It has completely blown the lid off how I listen to, analyze and think about music. That concept has moved me farther than any other 10 books put together or a years worth of study. - John Gold If you want the best collection of stuff people hang out in studios for months, or years to acquire, then this book is for you. - Michael Rempel Well I doubt anything could seriously beat Bobby Owsinski's sweet bible ... which turned me into a mixing-fanatic ... - Philip on Amazon The Mixing Engineer's Handbook by Bobby Owsinski is superb, a must have. Everytime I pick it up I learn something. . . - DJ from Calgary
