Mixing Music

<p>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 <i>Mixing Music</i>, focuses directly on the mixing process. </p><p>This book includes:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>References and citations to existing academic works; contributors draw new conclusions from their personal research, interviews, and experience.</li> <p> </p> <li>Models innovative methodological approaches to studying music production.</li> <p> </p> <li>Helps specify the term "record production," especially as it is currently used in the broader field of music production studies. </li> </ul> <p>Series Introduction</p><p>Dedication</p><p>About the Authors</p><p>Acknowledgments</p><p>Introduction</p><p>Chapter 1: Exploring of the Mix: Historical milestones and expanded perspectives- Martyn Phillips</p><p>Chapter 2: How to Listen, What to Hear- William Moylan</p><p>Chapter 3: Proxemic Interaction in Popular Music Recordings- Ruth Dockwray</p><p>Chapter 4: Top Down Mixing - A 12-Step Mixing Programme- Phil Harding</p><p>Chapter 5: Mixing in the Box- Justin Paterson</p><p>Chapter 6: Audio Editing In/And Mixing- Alastair Sims and Jay Hodgson</p><p>Chapter 7: Pre-Production In Mixing: Mixing in Pre-Production- Dylan Lauzon</p><p>Chapter 8: Between Speakers: Discussions on Mixing- Dean Nelson</p><p>Chapter 9: Mixing for Markets- Alex Krotz</p><p>Chapter 10: Mixing In/And Modern Electronic Music Production- Andrew Devine and Jay Hodgson</p><p>Chapter 11: Groove and the Grid: Mixing Contemporary Hip Hop- Matt Shelvock</p><p>Chapter 12: The Mix is.
