Getting started w/ a quality manual

[airborne_redhat]

Hey people,

I'm (very) new at the home recording thing ... as in just planning my initial steps once I get out of the army & move back to California. What I need now, since I can't get into any actual construction/setup until I move home, are some good books that'll give me some basic information I can sink my teeth into. Any recommendations? I purchased a BOSS BR-1180CD, so I'm gonna be working with that. At this point, I'll take any info I can get, but remember, I'm totally a novice. I need to learn about everything from mikes to soundproofing to price ranges. All I've got at this point is a whole lot of enthusiasm and well, a BOSS BR-1180CD. Where do I start? Thanks in advance!

Yo Roberto:

?Que` Paso?

You can search around this sight; lots of references for information, sites, and recording know-how.

Also, there are many other recording sites on the net--just kind of snoop around and read.

If you are able to use a library wherever you may be, that is another good resource; as well, junior/senior colleges often offer courses dealing with sequencing, via the Roland gear or Yamaha--at a Junior College, the tutition is usually very low.

Good luck to you and stay safe.

The Mixing Engineers Handbook is good stuff that you'll have to learn at some point or another at any rate, and good reading.
