Industry Reviews

"Game Audio Mixing is an absolutely critical and time sensitive exploration of one of the least understood and most complex elements of delivering high quality audio experiences for games. As we move to delivering larger and more complex audio experiences to our players, it's becoming even more important to approach the mixing process from the very outset of development. Alex has delivered an excellent how-to that is easy to digest and full of relevant examples from industry leaders across all genres. A must read, in my opinion."
