I still dont know what 'hardness' means in sound, and quite a bit of the book rests on that concept. The authors mind works in an unusual way - he may even have a touch of synesthaesia - the ability to 'see' sound, as colours or smells - but the book doesnt manage to communicate this very well. Some interesting parts, but reads better as a personal meditation on the art of mixing than as a how-to guide.
Furthermore, the author is highly available via email, and has given me further pointers, elaboration that has added depth and dimension to what the book provides.more Worth every penny, and travels with me while I mix. But for some reason, I believed all the hype, sent my money, and low and behold, received a book that blew my mind and stepped up my audio mixing game by several large increments.

His book helped me 'chase the flame' and record great drums, guitars, bass, and vocals, and most importantly mix them together.more I know what I'm talking about, I ran my own studio for years and recorded dozens of bands. He also talks a lot about making records sound big on small speakers, to me this is what music is all about, it's all about colour. I totally understand what he is talking about, many people won't.
