The Art of MixingUdgave 4

Through the use of unique 3D visual representations of sounds in a mix, The Art of Mixing, now in its fourth edition, provides an in-depth exploration into the aesthetics of what makes a great mix. The book’s distinctive approach explains how to map sounds to visuals, creating a visual framework which can be used to create and analyze any mix.

Once familiarized with the visual framework, readers are then guided on how to use this to explain traditions which have developed over time by great recording engineers for different styles of music and songs. As well as covering the use of studio equipment to create emotional dynamics in mixes, The Art of Mixing demonstrates how readers can build on this foundational knowledge of how engineers create great mixes to help develop their own values on what makes a good mix, unlocking their creative potential to create new mixing possibilities.

This updated edition features six brand new chapters covering how to use binaural beats for brainwave entrainment, sound healing and psychoacoustics, concert pitch and tuning systems, and looks at the future of mixing, including mixing in virtual reality and with artificial intelligence.
