Hal Leonard Books has announced the release of The Pensado Papers, written by Dave Pensado, first-call mixing engineer (Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Mariah Carey, Elton John, Michael Jackson, and more...) and his manager Herb Trawick. Here's what they have to say about it...

The Pensado Papers is first and foremost about work ethic, passion, and commitment. The authors instill the strong conviction that going beyond expectations will guarantee success on all levels. "To this day, if someone hires me to do something it is rare that I don't do way more than what I'm paid to do," writes Pensado.

The book reveals insights into the engineering regime of a recording genius, a creative philosophy that results in achievement and success. Starting from the very beginnings of Dave and Herb's friendship, the book leads to their top-rated YouTube show, Pensado's Place, where they discuss important music and audio recording topics with pro audio experts. "Audio is the foundation of Pensado's Place. But the show is really about creativity," says Pensado when he talks about the show in the book.

The Pensado Papers is written in a warm conversational tone between two friends, with occasional friendly banter making it even more fun to read. Maureen Droney - editor and long-time friend to Pensado and Trawick - has skillfully captured the likeability, wisdom, and charm that millions of viewers have grown to love about this incredible duo.

Dave Pensado and Herb Trawick will introduce their book at the 137th AES Convention at Los Angeles:

  • Friday, October 10 at 2 pm. AES Platinum Event with Herb and Dave
  • Saturday, October 11 at 11 am. Book signing at the Hal Leonard booth #1141
