Audio Production

A solid reference for audio work that covers the signal chain from recording through mastering. It breaks down microphone types and polar patterns, explains EQ and compression parameters with actual numbers (like targeting peaks at -12 to -6 dBFS), and includes frequency charts that show where instruments sit in the mix. The gain staging section is especially practical, walking through proper levels at each plugin stage. This is most useful when you're setting up a recording session, troubleshooting muddy mixes, or need quick lookup tables for compression ratios and EQ frequencies. The visual diagrams for stereo field panning and frequency spectrum are clearer than trying to describe these concepts in prose alone.
