how to make it sound better.
5. Prefaces
Preface to the First Edition
This book has been designed to answer the elusive questions,
“What makes a great mix?” and “How do you go about creating a
great mix?” Although most people know what they like, they often
don’t know how to achieve what they want when they’re in the
studio.
To answer these questions, I introduce and use visual repre-
sentations of sounds as a tool for understanding the whole world
of dynamics that an engineer can create with the equipment in
the studio. This visual framework has now become an established
tool in the recording industry. Over 20 colleges use these visuals to
explain mixing theory.
It’s easy to learn the function of each piece of equipment in
the studio; you can read user’s manuals or the tons of good books
available that explain the equipment. The difficulty lies in know-
ing how to use the equipment and in learning what combinations
of equipment are used to create great sounding mixes. Once you
know what the knobs do, which way do you turn them?
In other fields of art, there is no shortage of books that attempt
to explain the whole world of aesthetics. From music to painting,
scholars have tried answering the question, “What makes great
art?” But recording is a relatively new field, and very little has been
written about the aesthetics of mixing.
This is one of the first books to explain the aesthetics side
of creating a great mix. This is no simple feat, as there are many
musical styles based on any number of different instruments, all
of which are recorded differently. Each style of music has its own
world of values that are changing constantly. The number of varia-
tions is endless. Perhaps no one has attacked this complex subject
of mixing due to the lack of a framework to analyze the process.
Without a framework, it is difficult to explain what is going on
iv
6. The Art of Mixing, Second Edition
and hard to remember all the different things that can be done
in a mix. In the field of music, music theory provides this frame-
work. This book introduces a framework for understanding all the
dynamics that can be created in a mix.
The primary goal of this book is to give you a perspective
on how the equipment works together to create every mix in the
world. Once you have a perspective on what can be done, you can
be truly creative on your own.
It has been said that there are no rules when it comes to record-
ing. After all, the perfect mix to one person may be the worst mix
to another. However, most bands do want mixes that sound like
their style of music, and for some styles of music—such as big
band, acoustic jazz, and even certain types of rock and roll—the
rules are actually quite strict.
In the recording industry, there are certain high-level values
that are commonly held. We know this because there are certain
professional engineers who can create a great mix every time they
sit in front of a console. These engineers command exorbitant fees
because they are capable of coming up with something that most
people perceive as great, every time. So what is it they are doing? It
isn’t magic. They are only doing some very specific things. If you
could simply understand and learn what they do, you could start
down the path to becoming a great engineer. Once you have a map
and you know where you’re going, you’ll get there much faster! And
once you understand what the successful engineers are doing, you
can create your own style. This book will help you develop and rec-
ognize your own values through visuals, because visuals help us to
remember. After all, a picture is worth a thousand sounds.

7. Prefaces
This book will help you discover the high-level values that
major engineers have and will help you do the most difficult job
of all: make art out of technology. This book provides the missing
link between technology and aesthetics. Using the visual frame-
work, for the first time, you can see all that goes into making a
good mix, and you can begin the lifelong exploration in detail.
This is the art of mixing.
Visual 2. Structuring a Mix
Preface to the Second Edition
Since I first wrote this book an odd thing has happened. Now that
this framework has been established, in which all dynamics in
a mix can be delineated and explained, the gates of exploration
have been thrown wide open. People from all over the world have
written me to express their jubilation in seeing it all put into per-
spective. And I have been getting a huge number of ideas brought
to me that have continued to fill in all of the details of the fine
branches within each style of music.
But more importantly, it has opened up a whole new world for
myself. Using the visual framework, I have been able to expand
my repertoire of recording techniques immensely. Now whenever
I hear something on the radio or a new CD, I am able to imme-
diately recognize everything that the engineer did to create that
mix. Because of this, I now have a better perspective than ever on
how every dynamic might be used in different types of music and
songs—and it gets deeper and more complex every day.
It is my hope that this perspective can be transferred to you as
it has been for thousands of others. It is a very powerful tool.

It’s really
not so much about me showing you a few dozen techniques,
but about providing you with a framework
that you can use to discover
hundreds of techniques hidden in the types of music, songs,
and mixes that you like—
then you can use them in your own mixes appropriately.

9. Acknowledgments
There is a wide range of people who helped me to the point where
I am writing this book. Over the years I have simply gathered
together a large amount of information from a huge number of
contacts and sources—then there are those divine inspirations, and
who knows where they come from?
First, I probably would have never gotten into this business
without the suggestion of my brother Bill. He was the first to say,
“Ever thought about being a recording engineer?” Then, there were
my various music instructors and all of my recording instructors,
including Bob Beede and John Barsotti. There was also Herbert
Zettl, whose book on video aesthetics helped to inspire the struc-
ture of this book. Craig Gower was also another inspiring force
in learning about working with music. Chunky Venable was kind
enough to have the faith in me to run his studio, even though I
was so green. Many thanks goes to my producer friend, Ken Kraft,
with whom I learned many of the techniques contained within this
book.
There are also the various artists, engineers, and producers who
have influenced my values on this long road. Everybody from Pink
Floyd to Bob Clearmountain have made a huge impression on my
recording and mixing values.
Very special thank-yous go out to my dear friends Steven
Rappaport and Ginger Lyvere, who were there at the inception of
this book. They spent many hours looking over rough manuscripts,
brainstorming over various ideas and concepts, and encouraging
me to go forth with the project.
I would especially like to thank those who spent the time to
read through earlier versions of the book: David Schwartz, Charlie
Albert, Fred Catero, Roy Pritz, Bob Ezrin, and Thomas Dolby. A
special thanks to Fred for his exuberant and detailed critique of the
book. Extra thanks to Thomas for his evangelical support of the
whole visual paradigm.

Thanks are in order for Todd Stock, who has helped with edit-
ing and been a spiritual advisor of sorts. Thanks to Archer Sully,
who has helped bring into reality an actual working version of the
Virtual Mixer. Thanks also to Silicon Graphics for their support
and for loaning me an Indigo 2 computer. Warm thanks go to
Donna Compton and Patrice Newman for helping with the rough
editing of the book and critiquing of the visuals. Special thanks to
Donna for all her kind and caring support over the years. Thanks
go to Fred Mueller for much of his graphics work on the book.
Extra thanks go to Melissa Lubofsky for her visual inspirations and
dedication in creating many of the graphics, as well as her patient
efforts in helping me to learn Photoshop so I could do many of the
visuals on my own. Thanks also to Alon Clarke for his enthusiasm
and creativity with the photography.
Much appreciation goes out to all of the gang at ArtistPro
Books for their extremely helpful, creative, and professional sup-
port: Mike Lawson, George Petersen, Lisa Duran, and Linda
Gough. Special thanks to Mike Lawson for believing in the “bubble
book” when others were pooh-poohing it.
And finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank all of my
students from over the years for the innumerable suggestions and
inspirations that they have brought to me. They are the real reason
for this book. May this book begin an ongoing dialogue about what
makes a great mix to light the way for students in the future so
none of us is “all mixed up” ever again.

David Gibson has engineered and pro-
duced albums in a wide range of styles
of music—acoustic rock, jazz, rock,
new age, heavy metal, rap, hip-hop, and
electronica. Gibson has been teaching,
engineering, and producing groups in
major 24-track studios since 1982 and was the founder and owner
of California Recording Institute in San Francisco for ten years.
Before that, he taught recording at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz,

23. Introduction
This book is designed to explain how to create great mixes.
However, the mix is only one aspect of what makes a great record-
ing. Other factors also contribute to what is perceived as a quality
recording and mix.
Chapter 1
The purpose of this chapter is to put everything that goes into
making a quality recording into perspective. “All Aspects of a
Recorded Piece of Music” identifies and defines each of the 11 com-
ponents of a great recording: concept, melody, rhythm, harmony,
lyrics, density, instrumentation, song structure, performance,
quality of the equipment/recording, and the mix. You’ll then
explore what the recording engineer can do to help refine each of
these components.
Each of these aspects must be at a minimum level of good
quality. The overall quality of the recording is only as good as the
weakest link. The mix is only one of 11 aspects, but it is one of the
most powerful because it can hide some of the weaker aspects or
highlight the magic in the stronger aspects. The rest of the book
then focuses on all of the fine details of what can be done with the
eleventh aspect—the mix.
Chapter 2
“Visual Representations of ‘Imaging’ ” introduces the visual frame-
work for representing “imaging,” the apparent placement of sounds
between the speakers.
Section A shows the difference between the perception of
physical sound waves coming out of the speakers and the imag-
ined perception of imaging. This is important because the two are
xxii
24. The Art of Mixing, Second Edition
sometimes confused, and the visuals represent only imaging, not
physical sound waves.
Section B introduces the visual mapping of volume, frequency,
and panning, and defines the boundaries of imaging (the limited
space where a mix occurs between the speakers).
Section C continues with the visual mapping of audio to visuals
and explains the precise considerations that were used to deter-
mine the size, color, and shape of different sounds and effects. It
explains how frequency range, delays, and reverb affect the amount
of space used up by a sound. The section explains how you can
place and move sound images throughout the 3D space between
the speakers using volume, panning, and equalization. The section
then uses the sound images to introduce the different structures of
mixes that can be created in the studio.
Chapter 3
“Guides to a Great Mix” explains all of the components to take
into consideration when designing a mix. If you follow what the
music and song are telling you to do, the mix will be more cohesive
and powerful, and it will more clearly express what the song is all
about.
Section A explains how the style of music affects the way a song
is mixed.
Section B describes how the song and all of its details (the 11
aspects) dictate the way a song is mixed. It also explains how each
aspect might affect the placement of volume, EQ, panning, and
effects.
Section C discusses how the dynamic mix of people
involved—the engineer, the band, the producer, and the mass audi-
ence—affect the way a song is mixed. It explains the engineer’s role
in balancing the values of everyone involved. The most difficult
job of all is to take the values, suggestions, and ideas of everyone
involved in a project, decide which ones are best for the project,
then diplomatically work with everyone to bring about the best
recording and mix possible.

25. Introduction
Chapter 4
“Functions of Studio Equipment and Visual Representations of All
Parameters” utilizes the images outlined in Chapter 2 to describe
the function of each piece of studio equipment in the mix. It
briefly, but technically, explains what each piece of equipment does.
(As you will see, the visuals make the details of complex functions
easily understandable.)
Section A explains the basic functions of faders, compressor/
limiters, and noise gates and how to set them for different instru-
ments in various styles of music and songs.
Section B explains the differences between various types of
equalizers—graphics, parametrics, and rolloffs—and describes all
the frequency ranges found in sounds.
This section also covers the mathematical harmonic struc-
ture of the individual frequencies that make up all sounds, or
timbres. These harmonics are the basic building blocks of sounds.
Understanding the harmonic structure is critical to understanding
why an equalizer works differently on different sounds. When you
use an equalizer, you are changing the volume of the harmonics in
that sound, and every sound has different harmonic content. Most
importantly, this section gives you a step-by-step process for using
an equalizer to make something sound good—or just the way you
want it to sound!
Section C covers the basics of left to right placement in a mix.
Section D describes each of the common functions and param-
eters of delays, flangers, choruses, phase shifters, reverbs, harmony
processors, and pitch correctors.
At this point, all of the basic functions of the equipment, and
how each parameter is mapped out visually will have been cov-
ered. Now, when we use the visuals to show how all the equipment
can be used to together to create different styles of mixes, you will
understand all of the fine details of the visuals.

Chapter 5
“Musical Dynamics Created with Studio Equipment” explains the
missing link between the dynamics created by the equipment and
the dynamics in music and songs. I’ll first discuss the incredibly
wide range of possible dynamics that different people perceive in
music, including feelings and emotions; thought forms; psycholog-
ical, physiological, and physical reactions; visual imagery; cultural
and spiritual thoughts.
I’ll then embark on an in-depth survey of how each piece
of equipment in the studio can be used to create musical and
emotional dynamics. For each of the four tools in the control
room—volume, EQ, panning, and effects—I’ll define three levels
of dynamics created by different settings: individual placement,
overall patterns, and movement (changing settings). I’ll go into
detail on how common instrument sounds have traditionally been
used to create dynamics at each of the three levels.
When you know how strictly tradition dictates the placement
and movements of sounds in a mix for different styles of music,
you can be creative without going off the deep end. Not to say that
you can’t go off the deep end, but normally you end up broke and/
or disdained—even if you are just ahead of your time. Knowing
the limits of tradition, you can then help to push the limits to the
next level and change the world.
Most importantly, once you can see all the possibilities, you
can then put them together in new and unique ways to create great
mixes that fit within the traditions. When you can see all the pos-
sibilities, whole new worlds will open up for you.
Chapter 6
“Styles of Mixes” is an exploration of the incredibly powerful
dynamics that can be produced when you use all of the equipment
together to create an overall style of mix. It explains how you can
create “high-level dynamics” by combining multiple settings on
different equipment. When all of the equipment is used to create
similar emotional dynamics, you can create some very powerful
overall mixes.
