"The Systematic Mixing Guide is immense in its scope, leaving no mysteries unrevealed and no myths still standing. If you want an incredibly detailed and categorical guide to mixing metal, look no further."

Aaron Smith, Guitarist/Producer (7 Horns 7 Eyes, Jeff Loomis)

"If you've ever read through an audio engineering textbook, only to remain feeling as if the world of professional-caliber mixing was just as daunting, intangible, and enigmatic as before, Ermin has done you great service in writing this guide. Ermin is not a 'wannabe' with enough business-savvy to vaguely write about a topic he only moderately understands�it is clear that he understands the deeper artistic aspects of the mixing process, as well as the plethora of tiny details and challenges that are rarely talked about. He has articulated his knowledge in an organized way, and the care and effort that he put into writing it is commendable. Great work, Ermin!"

Thomas "Plec" Johansson, Producer/Engineer (Solution .45, Scar Symmetry, Watain)

The Systematic Mixing guide is the book to kick start your journey toward absolute mix professionalism within the pop, rock & metal genres. Practical and direct information, conveying professional techniques, is guaranteed to give you the sort of mixing insight that would traditionaly take years to develop as a studio intern. These are the same techniques that have taken the author from being an industry newcomer, to one of the most highly sought after independent mix engineers in the country & abroad."The mixing guide is an idea that came to fruition shortly after I started writing a series of tutorials for a closed online community. I soon realized that in order to contain the wealth of information which was beginning to surface, I would need a much more refined and cohesive format than the online bulletin board system - thus, the book was born. It contains some of the best insight you will find into a professional mix engineer's workflow - from set-up & the basics all the way through to dealing with large, multi-instrumental sessions, the Systematic Mixing Guide has you covered".- Ermin Hamidovic
