Publisher Desc.  Boost your understanding of the art and craft of creating great-sounding mixes! Starting with the basics of essential processors and working up to advanced signal routing and sophisticated sonic manipulation, this book will help you produce polished professional-sounding mixes. As you work with the sample sessions on the included CD-ROM and the hands on tutorials in the book, you will develop your listening skills as you expand your knowledge. Unlike other books with companion discs, the source files on your Skill Pack CD-ROM are an essential part of the book's tutorials-they are not there as mere examples; they are the raw materials you'll use to work through the hands-on exercises. The result is a fully integrated learning experience - you'll learn by applying the skills you've been taught through real-life experience.
