Thats such a good book man. You'll learn so much.

Great book, own it myself, I use it more as a reference book. I should read the whole thing at some point.

 

[JonWormwood]

Right now I'm tackling 5-6 different books. So over whelming.

The Mixing Engineer's Handbook, Second Edition

bob katz book is by far the most advanced book i've found (with my limited research so correct me if i'm way off). most of the other books offer fairly obvious suggestions and therefore aren't worth the 30-60 bucks to me at least, but if you don't already own Mastering Audio get it now, it's definitely an intense read and for some (me) it took about the second or third time reading it to really grasp it all. Can't wait to pick up the 2nd edition, from gearslutz it sounds like he has added a few new chapters and updated a lot

Sorry to go off topic, but I noticed from your avatar that you have the exact same setup as me, from the monitors to the keyboard

Wow. Looking at the chapters, it seems like a really in depth book with a lot of good info. I may pick that one up.
