"This book was created to clear up any confusion regarding EQ and Compression as well as to streamline your mixing process so you get better results faster and more intuitively." -- Back cover.

What if there was a simple way to give your mixes a professional sound before doing any real mixing. What if you could add instruments to a session and have them automatically sound like they belong. In The Bus Compression Framework you''re going to learn a big secret that mastering engineers keep to themselves. We''ve all had the experience of mixes sounding dull, lifeless and flat. For me this hadn''t been a problem for years, but I never really gave a second thought to how I solved it. That''s because after setting up this system I never really had to mess with it again. It wasn''t until I showed a student how to do this that I realized how powerful this system really is. I remember trying to help my student who was going through the phase of overly clean mixes. As it goes with overly clean mixes, his mixes were so clean, they were lifeless and sterile. I showed the student my bus compression setup--the exact numerical values, everything that I explain in this book. A couple days later he sent me an email with the before and after versions of his track. The difference between them was night and day. I was convinced he had gone through and remixed the entire track, but when he told me "No, all I did was use the formula you gave me, and oh ya, I cut a little from the pads," I was blown away. Now this student''s mix had been so clean that it had a glaringly digital feel to it. If the prescription wasn''t more cowbell then it was certainly going to be more additive EQ. Yet here he was following my 5-Bus setup and getting divine results and STILL feeling the need to EQ cut more from his mix. That was pretty much the moment I realized I had a pretty cool technique to share with you. By using the set and forget techniques inside the Bus Compression Framework you''ll achieve the kind of rich and vibrant analog sound we typically associate with expensive mastering. Not only will your mixes sound richer and more vibrant, but the 5-bus setup I''m going to show you will literally multiply the space and magnitude of your mixes. The Bus Compression Framework does this by using a combination of restrictive and open compression settings to create more contrast within your mixes. As you increase the amount of contrast in your mixes you get increasing levels of perceived depth. But like anything, if you utilize too much contrast you''ll end up with a poorly balanced mix that sounds all over the place. What''s awesome about this technique is that it''s a step by step formula for guaranteeing your mix has a professional sound. Now not all mixing is formulaic, but my students have said that the formulaic techniques in this book coupled with The 3-Space Reverb Framework literally upgraded the sound of their mixes by leaps and bounds. Not only will your mixes become more expansive but instruments will play together like they were meant to. Now when I say this technique gives your mixes a perfectly analog sound I mean all the benefits of analog. That means you get the organically pleasing sound of analog while avoiding the pitfalls of emulating analog within a DAW. It''s easy to tell when people fail at emulating analog. Their mixes are too colored, overly murky and they lack detail because they''ve used too much saturation. If you keep adding harmonics everywhere then they''ll eventually clog up your mix. As you read this book, I''ll be showing you how to infuse your mixes with analog richness while also maintaining the type of clarity expected from modern recordings. By using The Bus Compression Framework your mixes will naturally come together. Mixing will feel much more organic and you''ll actually have fun mixing instead of feeling like you''re solving problem after problem. Now if you want an immediately professional, radio ready sound, then pick up your copy of The Bus Compression Framework.

We started our work on theoretical methods in the phys ics of high pressures (in connec tion with geophysical applications) in 1956, and we immediately encountered many problems. Naturally, we searched the published Iiterature for solutions to these problems but whenever we failed to find a solution or when the solution did not satisfy us, we attempted to solve the problern ourselves. We realized that other investigators working in the physics of high pres sures would probably encounter the same problems and doubts. Therefore, we decided to write this book in order to save our colleagues time and effort. Apart from the descriptions of ex perimental methods, the book deals only with those problems which we encountered in our own work. Allproblems in high-pressure physics have, at present, only approximate solutions, which are very rough. Therefore, it is not surprising that different investigators approach the same problems in different ways. Our approach does not prejudge the issue and we are fully aware that there are other points of view. Our aim was always to solve a glven problern on a physical basis. For example, the concept of the Grüneisenparameter needs further develop ment but it is based on reliable physical ideas. On the other hand, Simon's equation for the melting curve has, in our opinion, no clear physical basis and is purely empirical. Equations of this type are useful in systematic presentation of the experimental material but they are un suitable for any major extrapolation.

Working as a recording engineer presents challenges from every direction of your project. From using microphones to deciding on EQ settings, choosing outboard gear to understanding how, when and why to process your signal, the seemingly never-ending choices can be very confusing. Professional Audio's bestselling author Bobby Owsinski (The Mixing Engineer's Handbook, The Mastering Engineer's Handbook) takes you into the tracking process for all manner of instruments and vocals-- providing you with the knowledge and skill to make sense of the many choices you have in any given project. From acoustic to electronic instruments, mic placement to EQ settings, everything you need to know to capture professionally recorded audio tracks is in this guide.

Reverb is one of the most important processors to know how to use. It's responsible for creating the entire perception of space in a mix. Without the organic sound of reverb, mixes would sound flat and lifeless. When I first started using reverb, I had no idea what I was doing. There were tons of presets to flip through, and I felt like I had to tweak everything about them. This led to lots of confusion and I ended up using reverb too much, or just avoiding it because I just wasn't confident I'd get what I was after. It took me years to discover the correct way to use reverb and the 3-Space Reverb Framework is the result of that. This reverb framework is deceptively simple and it works because it's the answer to how and why we use multiple reverbs in a mix. It's the answer to how we configure reverbs together. The framework tells us that different reverb types take up different amounts of mix real-estate. Once we know how to manage our mixing real-estate with reverb then it becomes much easier to achieve bigger, cleaner sounding mixes. This book will help you learn how to use reverb so that your mixes become more detailed. It will help you learn exactly how to combine reverbs together, and most importantly it will help you effectively shape and create the environment of your mix so that it sounds exactly the way you want.
