Descriere
Metal Music Manual addresses concepts and production techniques specific to metal music. By first establishing "heaviness," and defining qualities that enable a high standard of production, the book focuses on sonic weight, intelligibility, and performance precision. Methodologies are directly informed by the music’s performance characteristics, sound and timbral attributes, and predominant musical practices. Author Mark Mynett presents these processes and approaches within the stages of pre-production, recording, mixing, and mastering. An extensive companion website features multi-track metal recordings, audio stems, final mixes, and interviews with metal producers and musicians.
