Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science Review: The definitive in-depth guide to mastering - If you want to understand what you're doing in mastering, instead of relying on presets and formulas, this book explains each aspect of the job in detail. It's written by one of the most respected names in mastering. After reading this, I felt a lot more confident in mastering my next album. Review: Mandatory reading for anyone doing audio processing - Even if you don't mix and master your own tracks, this book is filled with so much useful information that you will get a lot out of it, whether you are a beginner hobbyist or advanced professional audio engineer. I thought that I was a relatively advanced user but this book has made me rethink a lot of assumptions. I can clearly hear the difference in my own productions after just reading a few chapters of this book. While this book is ostensibly about mixing and mastering, it really covers the whole range of essential audio processing tools in-depth without any filler. Any DAW or other audio tooling user should have this book on their shelf. The wide format makes sense, but it is a bit awkward ergonomically sometimes. The binding makes it a bit difficult to lay the book flat. I have considered rebinding the book with a spiral. But this is the only place where there is any room for improvement. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #190,091 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #19 in Acoustic Engineering #43 in Physics of Acoustics & Sound (Books) #56 in Music Recording & Sound (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (318) | | Dimensions | 9.1 x 8.4 x 0.7 inches | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 0240818962 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0240818962 | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 408 pages | | Publication date | September 25, 2014 | | Publisher | Routledge | ## Images ![Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61f1cGBlkZS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The definitive in-depth guide to mastering *by P***T on September 20, 2025* If you want to understand what you're doing in mastering, instead of relying on presets and formulas, this book explains each aspect of the job in detail.

The author is a "somebody" in the world of high-end audio. I recognized his name from articles appearing in Stereophile magazine, most recently in the January 2015 issue. He knows more about the recording process than most anyone. He communicates his ideas very well, but, most importantly, he address the most relevant subjects and issues. This is a great book for an audiophile to read because it examines the details of source origination -- the recording process -- and relates it directly to the playback process. The chapters on mastering are must reading, especially the discussion of loudness, monitor quality, and monitor setup. Oh, and don't forget the chapter on jitter. This term is thrown around in audio equipment analysis as if everyone knows what it is. The discussion is so confusing elsewhere, one might be thinking it has something to do with insects dancing inside a USB cable (jitterbugs). Read what Katz has to say. Very informative. I loved the book, and will keep it as a reference. Too bad it didn't come with a hard cover, or a better cover. The cover paper is really cheap quality, but I won't subtract a star for that. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science - The Mixing Engineer's Handbook 5th Edition - Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio (Sound On Sound Presents...) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7111728-mastering-audio-the-art-and-the-science](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7111728-mastering-audio-the-art-and-the-science) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
