Mixing Music: Perspectives on Music Production

English | 2017 | ISBN: 1138218731 | 307 Pages | PDF | 4.95 MB

This series, Perspectives On Music Production, collects detailed and experientially informed considerations of record production from a multitude of perspectives, by authors working in a wide array of academic, creative, and professional contexts. We solicit the perspectives of scholars of every disciplinary stripe, alongside recordists and recording musicians themselves, to provide a fully comprehensive analytic point-of-view on each component stage of record production.

Each volume in the series thus focuses directly on a distinct aesthetic ‘moment’ in a record’s production, from pre-production through recording (audio engineering), mixing and mastering to marketing and promotions. This first volume in the series, titled Mixing Music, focuses directly on the mixing process.

This book includes:

– References and citations to existing academic works; contributors draw new conclusions from their personal research, interviews, and experience.
– Models innovative methodological approaches to studying music production.
– Helps specify the term ‘record production,’ especially as it is currently used in the broader field of music production studies.
