Master Audio Mastering
An excellent book with clear technical details and practical guidance on the mastering process. There is everything from ear-training, tips on plug-in use, the use of outboard electronics, the industry standard software and the reasons for using it. The author explains what the effect of outboard units, lossy and un-lossy file compression and bit-rate have on his perception of quality. It is full of advice on how the mixing process feeds into the mastering and on to the pressing/streaming service together with the best practice for everything from documentation of masters and mastering, the preparation of masters for the various pressing and streaming services and the backing up and archiving of master files. If you suspected that mastering was achieved by the careful application of smoke, mirrors and snake-oil then this book will put you right. It might also save you some embarrassment when you send off your latest home studio mix.

Mandatory reading for anyone doing audio processing
Even if you don't mix and master your own tracks, this book is filled with so much useful information that you will get a lot out of it, whether you are a beginner hobbyist or advanced professional audio engineer. I thought that I was a relatively advanced user but this book has made me rethink a lot of assumptions. I can clearly hear the difference in my own productions after just reading a few chapters of this book. While this book is ostensibly about mixing and mastering, it really covers the whole range of essential audio processing tools in-depth without any filler. Any DAW or other audio tooling user should have this book on their shelf. The wide format makes sense, but it is a bit awkward ergonomically sometimes. The binding makes it a bit difficult to lay the book flat. I have considered rebinding the book with a spiral. But this is the only place where there is any room for improvement.

So much information
This is an excellent book. Detailed explanations and lots of great experiences to help every home recording artist, regardless of level of experience or knowledge of the art of mastering
