"Intelligent Music Production focuses on the very timely topic of automatic mixing of audio signals. With many clear figures and surprisingly few mathematical formulas, this book explains how artificial intelligence can help producers and musicians make their recordings sound great – automatically."Vesa Välimäki (Professor of Audio Signal Processing), Aalto University, Acoustics Lab, Espoo, Finland
