My brother turned me on to a new book/DVD Mixing the Hits of Country: Music Pro Guides by Dave Martin

This is a cool concept. Dave guides me step-by-step through mixing exercises that are illustrated with screenshots and charts. He discusses why certain techniques just work. Hey Dave’s kick drum even has two mics just like all our Total Control Audio multitrack drums! I think this book is an excellent reference for everyone using Total Control Audio drum loops.

Mixing the Hits of Country includes two DVDs with complete WAV files for every instrument and vocal track to 10 contemporary country hits: “Anyway” (Martina McBride), “Before He Cheats” (Carrie Underwood), “Bless The Broken Road” (Rascal Flatts), “It Just Comes Natural” (George Strait), “My Give a Damn’s Busted” (Jo Dee Messina), “Play Something Country” (Brooks & Dunn), “Redneck Woman” (Gretchen Wilson), “Stealing Kisses” (Faith Hill), “Summertime” (Kenny Chesney), and “Would You Go With Me” (Josh Turner).

Mixing the Hits of Country: Music Pro Guides by Dave Martin available at Amazon.
