Mixing and Mastering

This book discusses the art of mixing and mastering sound recordings. Currently, there are a vast number of articles about this subject, but there is no unified source for all of these, and it is difficult to find every single piece of information. Fairly regularly, articles pop up on forums or forum users lift the veil on what is usually seen as an arcane art. Forums get pruned and websites may lose their content, and therefore having a single editable persistent resource would be ideal to refer people to.
