Michael Stavrou clearly knows how to get great sounds on record. Even if he 
hadn't engineered for big names such as Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Cat 
Stevens, Sir George Martin's glowing foreword to Mixing With Your Mind would 
leave me in little doubt as to his credentials. In his book, Stavrou collects 
together a generous fund of engineering tips, tackling not just mixdown, but the 
recording process as well.
