Présentation de l'éditeur :

Intended for students, engineers, and producers, Metal Music Manual addresses concepts and techniques specific to this style of music.

By first establishing "heaviness," and defining qualities that enable a high standard of production, the book focuses on sonic weight, intelligibility and performance precision. Procedures and methodologies are directly informed by the music’s performance characteristics, sound and timbral attributes, and predominant musical practices. Metal Music Manual: Recording, Mixing and Mastering presents these processes and approaches within the stages of pre-production, recording, mixing, and mastering.

The companion website features a bevy of resources including recordings, audio stems, files, final mixes, and interviews with producers and musicians.
