May I suggest that the next time you do a book review/recommendation that you give the authors' names? You might add them into your description. Thanks.

I've taken several online courses from J. Allen and I own his book. Top-shelf instructor and incredibly knowledgeable

A great recommendation would the ' Art of Mixing' - especially the video, only 2.5 hours, but golden content to understand mixing on a very fundamental level.

Chatgpt told me about Ableton Live 10 Power!: The Comprehensive Guide. I guess it's older now and daw specific.

Rick Snowman "Dance music manual". It's a 500-page book. If you read from A to Z will will know everything about dance music production.

I have many of the ones mentioned here.
Does anyone have an opinion on the Mastering the Mix ebooks by Tom Frampton?

mixing in a small studio version 2 is good too
