A good short read, giving tips and tricks on how to use compressors to improve your mixing skills. I read this all the through, took me just under an hour and although it is short I plan to read it again to force my mind to remember all the details.

Good Read

Gave a good understanding of the way that compression can be used for achieving specific goals within a mix. I really enjoyed the metaphor of compression being like adding spice when cooking.

Part 2

Reading it made me step into the studio, remove every plugin and start from scratch again. Let’s just say that the song sounds 1000 times better. Thankful. Onto equalization.

Ok but not great

Not what I was looking for but that's more my fault than this book's. A novice, I need more illustrations than descriptions.
