The Mixing Engineer's Handbook: 5th Edition

If you want to learn mixing from a real master, this book is for you. It's full of theoretical and more important, practical information you can use immediately.

Filled with useful information. really good reference tool for when you're feeling a little lost in a mix

It’s a great book to start with if someone is passionate to know how sound plays a big role and about mixing.!!!

This book takes a lot of its advice from techniques other award-winning mixers have used (including quotes and interviews by them). I am fairly new to mixing, and I was able to learn a lot of tips and tricks, but nothing life-changing.. my mixing process is still pretty similar to what it was before I read the book.One big thing to note is that the book goes into a lot of (in my opinion, superfluous) detail about "the old days" of mixing (techniques that are no longer used by anyone).It also has a lot of detail about mixing on analogue consoles (many people still do it this way but many of us might not care about this content).Furthermore, I noticed quite a few typos and formatting issues. Not that it ruined the book or anything, I just didn't expect this given that this is the 5th edition of the book already.So in conclusion, it's a good book with a lot of information but, in my opinion, not all of that information is useful. And the book could do with a bit of polish. You might prefer Mike Senior's 'Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio'.

After reading the Mixing Engineers Handbook, I feel i have a far better understanding. Bobby Owinski has written everything that you need to know, in an easy to understand guide with lots of helpful tips along the way.
