In the book, Mike shares his own numerous tips, as well as tricks heŐs learnt from some of the industryŐs top engineers, including Michael Brauer, Chris and Tom Lord-Alge, Tony Maserati, Andy Wallace and many more. At well over 300 pages, thereŐs plenty of information to digest, and itŐs all been helpfully categorised and split into easily navigable chapters. The book covers topics such as monitoring, including speaker types and room acoustics; mix preparation, from fixing timing and tuning errors to modifying a songŐs arrangement; effects and processing, including the use of reverb, delay, EQ and compression; and finishing a mix, as well as dealing with revision requests made by the client. At the end of each chapter is a section titled Cut To The Chase, which summarises all the points made therein.\As well as providing all this information, Mike has produced over 350 audio files to accompany the chapters in the book, provided in both MP3 and uncompressed WAV formats. HeŐs also sought out bands and producers kind enough to agree to make unmixed multitracks of their recordings available for budding mix engineers to practice mixing with. These are available to everyone, for free, at http://cambridge-mt.com/ms-ch15.htm#audio.\A copy of the book has been doing the rounds at SOS HQ, and everyone whoŐs seen it has been very impressed by the quality and range of information. Available now, Mixing Secrets For The Small Studio can be bought for around Ł20. For more information, check out the web site below.
