The Long Island Rail Road is the oldest railroad in the country still operating under its original name. As the busiest railroad in North America; it carries 265;000 customers each weekday aboard 735 trains on 11 different branches. The Port Jefferson Branch serves 10 stations from Hicksville to Port Jefferson and carries nearly 20 percent of the railroadrsquo;s passenger traffic over its 32 miles of track. Hicksville Station is the site of the October 8; 1955; ldquo;End of Steam Ceremony;rdquo; when steam locomotives were retired from service. The oldest surviving station building constructed by the Long Island Rail Road is on this branch at St. James. Between 1895 and 1938; the branch extended 10 miles east to Wading River. The branch was not electrified until 1970 and that was only to Huntington Station; east of which is served by diesel and dual-mode locomotives.

The structure is outstanding; the book and each chapter are arranged to introduce concepts at a macro level and then drill down to the how to details. The examples used are quite good too; with before and after audio examples to listen to via a web site. My only complain is that the examples are just about all in the genres such as Dance; Electronica; Hip-hop; Metal and such. I wished there were some jazz or more straight ahead rock examples used; that is to say; of a more natural acoustic.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A great book with a major chapter left out.By sylvaAll well and good in the realm of books for recording bands. Publishers pile on top of one another to market yet another book on the same subject: the kick drum; the high hats; the guitar; the bass; etc. Izsakis book treats the same; but at a much higher level than all.Great.Having said that; though; the same publishing houses think nothing about the many of us who work with the orchestra. I write world music; using a great deal of strings that play chords (patches) but also carry the melody (song). A good number of my songs are written for the guitar accompanied by string ensembles; mixed with chords carried by horns and other winds (an excellent combination; btw). I also write jazz for the big band. Anyway; any book thats worth its salt should contain at least one chapter about mixing string sections (and string sections with other instrument sections); the most difficult to deal with recorded track or sampled instruments of all; which even rock musicians sometimes use in the studio. None of the books out there do. Theres Andrea Perjolos; an excellent book; a must have if one needs suggestions about working with orchestral sample libraries; but it essentially is not about mixing.I tend to think that many a music writer sees the lacking; but wont speak up.Lastly; I have to recognize the authors effort. This is a very big book. I can imagine the enormous amount of work that went into writing it. Kudos to you; Mr. Izhaki.John.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great book to break down the fundamentalsBy Derek DI bought this book a couple weeks ago because I knew I was going to be without power due to hurricane sandy!The book really hits every angle it can from the basics of EQing; compression; limiters; expanders ect. And fleshes them out to uses way beyond the basic mixer. He dives into using busses and really getting the most out of your mixes with some of the most commonly used tricks in the industry.Its the kind of book youre going to read several times; because there is just so much to take in. I went through it; read and highlighted everything I thought would be most helpful to my situation; and Ive gone through it a few times; and instantly my mixes have gotten better.You must download the files associated with this book; because you can practice what he presents effectively. Every other page; he gives you exercises to try out and why they are important.If you are a beginner or even a relatively experienced engineer; there is a lot to learn from this book; and it is very relevant with the times! He breaks down the analog versions of some machines and talks how the plug ins have emulated or even built on!This book will be on my virtual bookshelf for years to come!
