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.
