De-mystifies Mastering!

I have been a guitar player, songwriter, and producer for many years and an engineer when I had to be. There is always a certain amount of mystery around the magic done in post production mastering.

Bob has steadily carved a niche for himself in both his dual profession of mastering and writing. This book was inevitable...

Getting meaningful information from one of these authors requires my own extrapolation into the remaining areas--or at least taking the authors comments in those areas with a grain of salt. FINALLY I have in...
