### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    So much insight
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2022*

I have a long history of jobs related to music, but I recently became a location sound mixer by accident. I was in the right place at the right time and stepped in to save a shooting day.  That turned into enough offers that it became my full time job. I wish I had met a mixer to work with before jumping in with no guidance.  Patrushkha very clearly shares insights I have been spending years learning on my own and wishing I knew “out the gate”.  I recently had an A list actor be difficult with me,  and remembering what I read in this book helped me turn the situation around and make the next month with him very pleasant.  Spend the money, it will pay for itself in no time.

    An amazing look into the field of production audio
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2022*

This is such an incredibly written book and a wonderful guide to the inner workings inside the sound department in the production industry. I would highly recommend it to anyone from a curious film student, to a working professional.As familiar as I am in the department, my experience is still somewhat limited as I’ve mostly been working primarily in Texas without any personal gear, relying on rentals or provided gear.I felt like I learned so much and I felt very comfortable reading and relating to stories of productions across the spectrum as well as the wide range of gear used for any given situation. I love the department and the problem solving nature the job requires of you. I sincerely love that each chapter has a section in the end for notes and I know I’ll be going back and adding to it over time.I’ve personally been an audio mixer and boom operator (non union) based in Houston, TX for over 10 years. While I’ve loved my job, I’ve also had some unfortunate experiences, most of which could’ve been avoided with better pre production planning or simply a better budget for a larger sound team. I wish the standard for having an audio team here was the same, but people are making a lot more low budget indies here in Texas and often relying on one man band sound guys or gals. I feel like this book gave me new insight into the possibility of what an ideal set and production team would like be in the future.As it is more my specialty, I am absolutely looking forward to the boom operator book!!!Thanks!-Chris

    A Fantastic Resource for the Amateur or Working Professional Alike
  

*by E***F on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2021*

I'm only 8 chapters in so far, but this book is a fantastic and holistic reference manual for one of the most challenging jobs on set. In fact, I'm tempted to recommend it to my friends outside the sound department, because it describes the interpersonal and political skills of production work in such depth and clarity, as well as the history and context of filmmaking that culminated in the systems we utilize today.Looking ahead, author Patrushkha Mierzwa appears to break down the more technical side of the job, which I'm equally excited to read. And while this type of information is more readily available from the various online sources we are probably all familiar with, I can tell from the first third of the book that it will be rich with practical insight and context often missing from these informal discussions. I can tell I will be coming back to this even after it has been read through, and likely lending or gifting copies to those who work on my team.
