New to Recording

[loomis103]

Im a complete newb. I got into recording a few weeks ago through this forum and have learned a lot from you guys. Does anyone know of a really good book to teach the basics of recording.

If you want really basic foundational stuff, check out books from the MIX Pro Audio Series by Bill Gibson. They're pricey, but they come with CDs of audio examples that go along with what's being talked about in the book.

Hit this link, because there is always a sh'load of recording books on eBay:

Also, Amazon (used and new) is a great source because of the linking/recommendation system they have. I cannot really recommend any one specific book, because you will learn something from every book you read.

Also, consider subscribing to a couple of mags, too. EQ, Mix, Electronic Musician, etc...

Home recording for musicians for dummies is great and inexpensive. If you don't know anything then go that route.

Your best bet is to watch someone who knows what s/he's doing.

Good way is to just get in touch with some local studio owners and ask if they wouldn't mind if you just sat in on some sessions.

I never expected that level of generosity but I've already been invited to more than 4 different studios just to sit in and watch.
