Mixing with Impact
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-08089-8 (ISBN)
The same goes for the questions you run into: where do you start? How do you deal with a context in which all the different parts affect each other? How do you avoid getting lost in technique? How do you direct your audience’s attention? Why doesn’t your mix sound as good as someone else’s? How do you maintain your objectivity when you hear the same song a hundred times? How do your speakers affect your perception? What’s the difference between one compressor and another?
Following a clear structure, this book covers these and many other questions, bringing you closer and closer to answering the most important question of all: how do you tell a story with sound?
Wessel Oltheten has been recording and mixing music since his teens, which has led to a successful studio business with a very diverse clientele.
