Mixing Music from Focal Press is part of the Perspectives On Music Production series, which 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.
