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. 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, mastering, to marketing and promotions. This first volume in the series, titled Mixing Music, focuses directly on the mixing process.
