Scribd tech support eventually got back to me and confirmed that the author has prevented downloads of this document.

Hi Nick, I really enjoyed this mixing guide, it is comprehensive and very informative, I've already used several new things I have learned with good results! Thank you very much for creating it, it must have been a lot of work. Kudos to you. I am having one minor problem though, I would like to download the document from Scribd so I can keep it on hand for reference. However, even though I have registered as member of Scribd (confirmed and logged in) I can never get the download option to appear. In the FAQ it says that this can be due to the security settings set by the author, or it can be due to a known bug where the download options do not appear as they should. I am assuming that this document is set to be freely downloadable because in tthe document information it says that there have been "218 Downloads" of this document. Can you confirm for me that this document is indeed meant to be freely downloadable? This would help me to confirm that I am in fact having a technical issue with the Scribd site. I raised a support ticket 5 days with Scribd Help system but I have had no answer from Scribd at all. The ticket is still "awaiting assignment to a helpdesk operator" so no-one has even looked at it yet. :(
