ChevChelios Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Post any books that you think are worth reading on any topic that has to do with production, engineering, synthesis, and anything else that would fit under these categories.Ill start off.I bought the mixing engineer's handbook today, its pretty good from what I've read.Behind The Glass is a book that I don't have but am planning to get, I've heard good things about it.

Tomy Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 "The complete guide to Remixing" by Erik Hawkinsits not too bad. i read it as a beginer but i'm about to re-read it. it comes with a cd so you can listen to what he's talking about. Quote
elmostephane Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Hey all, I've gathered quite a few books in my studio during the years and these are the ones definitely worth reading:Sound engineering:Recording tips for engineers by Tim CrichMixing with your mind by Michael StavrouModern recording techniques by Hubert & RunsteinMusic business:Becoming a successful producer / engineer by Bill GibsonMusic Business by Shane SimpsonOther than that, I strongly recommend video tutorials. These are where you'll learn the most. Quote

eggssell Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 found it!well i think it was this one. but i thought there was a more basic music theory one. guess not Quote
Mitch Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Nice one digging this up Might have a read of some of these Quote
Tomy Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 time to add some of the books i've read thenthis book is really great, a bit more focused on recording & bands but some seriously good techniques and info in there I'm constantly referencing this one. I bought the hard copy but you can get a PDF version. Has a really good section on compression http://www.mixingwithyourmind.com/ Quote
