Hello,

I posted this in Harmony Central's section too, so please don't get in a tissy if you've seen it before.

I am interested in starting out a career in the recording industry and was hoping some of you might have a suggestion regarding any good reading material on the subject of Recording Arts.

Either on Digital Recording (preferable, since I have one )on the computer or something more traditional.
 
Thanks smuckinfart1, but I have had other Dummies books and I don't really think much of them. I was thinking of one of one of the following:

Recording In The Digital World (Berklee Music Press)

or

The Expert Encyclopedia of Recording

or

Home Recording Power!


I am open to other suggestions, these are just some of the ones I found on amazon. The "Harmony Central Production Tip of the Day" quoted some stuff out of "Recording In The Digital World", (Berklee Music Press) and I found it very good.


Also, another friendly member from Harmony Central board said "The Interactive Guide To Home Recording", by Pomona (http://www.pomona1.com/HTML/prod.htm, I think the link is dead though), but this is the program at music123.com (http://www.music123.com/Item/?itemno=46508).


Any Comments are welcome?
 
Anything new to add before my post goes into the pits?
 
I'm reading "The Audio Pro Home Recording Course" by Bill Gibson and liking it a lot. It includes two audio CDs so you get to hear what he's writing about. How's that quote go? "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" I think the same applies to reading about music. ;)

For something with a little more meat, check out the "Creative Recording" series (I & II) by Paul White. I find them to be more technical but not design-your-own-equipment technical.
