Howdy!

I'm just wondering if there is a place where i can read up on the recording and or mixing techniques of the pros. You know...Lilly White etc... Or specifically, artists such as Jack Johnson, G. Love, Ben Harper...

Where would I go for such a thing is there a resource?

Thanks!
 
not a single source out there?

I know Home Recording Magazine does some from time to time, but is that about it?
 
How about - EQ, Mix, Recording, Studio Sound, Tape Op, Sound On Sound....

Forget Home Recording - overall it's crap... I've never seen a mag with more nonsense in it..........

You can also stick around here -- a few resident pros and a lot of good info (and the people aren't bad either! -- a few lame-ass trolls and morons, but far fewer than many other sites!)
 
Or you can do what I did one time over a decade ago and call the studio and ask to speak to the tracking or mixing engineer.

That was one expensive phone call, but I learned alot about how a particular album was put together. How and why it sounded the way it did, and what I could do as an amateur to improve my recording and mixing.

Probably the best phone call I've ever made. Professional engineers put their pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us. If you sound half-way professional over the phone and not some pimply-faced star-struck teenager, and ask stupid questions about the act, they will talk to you if they have the time. You don't have to go through their agent or personal manager to speak to the tracking or mixing engineer if they're in the studio.
 
You could try..........

Artistpro.com has a forum that is moderated by a few well known producers.
 
One of the best books i've read recently is "Behind the Glass".

Basically, this guy interviews most of the top producers in the world, and gets their opinions on how to produce, and how to mix in some cases too.

All I can say is, you'd be suprised how far an SM57 can go...
