Good books for a good read

[Flick]

I am looking for books to read reguarding sound engineering/production. I want to learn as much as I can. I have been reading a lot of the net sites listed here, but would like something to be able to take with me to work etc. Plus, people are wondering what i want for Christimas . So anyone have some good books that would take me through the basics of this stuff, and then really get into the meat of the topic? thanks!

The Musicians Guide to Home Recording is a good start.This was my introductory book and was extremely informative.It does cover a lot of outdated stuff,but,I think it has recently been updated.Peter McIan is the author.

I have profited a lot from "Professional Microphone Techniques" by David Miles Huber and Philip Williams. Also, though a little dated, I've gotten great ideas from "The Recording Guitarist" by Jon Chappell. Hope this helps.-Richie

"home recording for musicians" has been invaluable to me. it is one of those "for dummies" books.

also magazines like electronic musician, computer music, and home recording, and mix... always have useful, informative articles.
