(Grammy Award winning mix engineer and producer - The National, Interpol, Kurt Vile, Japandroids, Jonsi, Stars, Frightened Rabbit, The Swell Season, The Head & The Heart) Balancing the technical and the creative sides, the book thoughtfully examines the experience of mixing in straightforward and current language that could be helpful to beginners and experienced engineers alike.” But in Mixing with Impact, Wessel Oltheten lays out and explores an impressive number of the things that go into making this very complicated process make sense. “Ultimately, mixing is an intensely instinctual endeavor that can’t really be taught in a book. Peter Katis (one of my personal heroes when it comes to mixing), has been kind enough to read my manuscript and said this about it: So my take on the matter is to contribute to a better understanding of how music relates to mixing decisions (and the other way around), to help you develop your own way of working, in any genre. Frankly, I feel there’s too much information out there already that makes aspiring engineers think in terms of formulas. While a lot has been written about mixing, I hope to offer a fresh way of looking at things, a way that has helped me to get a grip on the process myself over the last 15 years. As of today, Mixing with Impact is available worldwide through Focal Press. I’ve written a book about a subject most dear to me: crafting a mix. After many years of reading valuable insights on these pages I hope to give something back to the audio engineering community myself.
