5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of tips in one single book, September 16, 2007

By	Nerio Gutierrez Ross (Madrid , Spain) - See all my reviews

This book is full of tips , Mr Tozzoli did it very well, I found that many questions that I ever made to myself about sorround mixing found an answer inside this book, it is wrote in an very easy way to read and it's clear in all explanations.
Incluso para una persona que no habla ingles nativo es simple de leer, este libro esta escrito desde la perspectiva de un ingeniero de mezclas de musica pero sus consejos se pueden aplicar a cualquier especialidad de la ingenieria de sonido, en mi caso yo me dedico a la postproduccion y los datos que he encontrado aqui me han resulatade de gran ayuda para mi desempeño como ingeniero, un gran aplauso al señor Tozzoli.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surround Yourself with Pro Tools, July 5, 2006

By	J. Michael King Unlim "SurroundNut" (Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We have two Pro Tools rooms equipped for surround mixing. I was made aware of the book by Frank Pappalardo who is the mixer for the PBS program "Sound Stage". There is a lot of information that is referenced to the Pro Tools environment but much is related to general surround information. The book is well worth the price.
