required reading

[daav]

Short of a bunch of threads that need stickies all through these pages, i would appreciate if folks could give their favorite recording (and playing, practicing, etc) book, links etc. I've seen som many good pages linked, and books referenced, that i would like to help start a thread to put some of these together. Later tonight, i will grab some of the bookmarks i have been gathering from my home PC and try to post a bunch of them, to help the others with a centralized set of links to start their reading in.

As for the standard print books, i am looking for what i should be buying and requesting from the library. I think at this point i am confortable skipping the recording for dummies, I would prefer references that will carry me through as i get better at this stuff. What are you all reading?

Daav.

What i would love is a thread that has all the best website pages about recording , eq, reverb, compressors, limiters, and panning ... basically a step by step guiide to mixing .... that would be really cool

Apart from HR.com, a great resource for articles would be the project studio handbook:

http://www.theprojectstudiohandbook.com/directory.htm

I also use the following with some frequency:
http://artistpro.com/index.php?POSTNUKESID=7f123812d37e2f84b578ae693c1b4cf4
http://www.projectguitar.com/

and many other forum type sites like the recording project, tape op, gearslutz, harmony-central, etc.

is a good place to start. Also:
http://studioforums.com/groupee/forums/a/frm/f/5996031775

I would love that as well, I will try to start adding what i have found, if others want to respond with with things they have found with a sense of category, i will do my best to start to sort and compile these.

Didn't you already start a thread like this last week? Or was it someone else? I know for a fact I already recommended the aformentioned Project Studio Handbook (which, coincidentaly is where I found HR).

I hope that was someone else
I have started some "let's dredge up old info" things in the past, one of the reasons i am trying this one, to help avoid being that guy any more than the minimum.

That's a ton of stuff!

I assume that's all the "how to record on your 'puter" links ever created.

For those who might be inclined toward vintage analog style recording, there's a nice book that's slightly dated, called "Home Recording for Musicians", by Peter McIan.

It's focus is general info and specifics for the analog crowd. It has enough general tutorial to give the recording newbie a good basic understanding, but is outdated enough to not cover what's considered "modern" digital hardware or philosophies.

FYI.

What we need is all the links to all the threads that start:
"I am new to home recording, and have a limited budget, what equipment should I buy?"

Maybe if i have some time later, i'll use the search function and find 5-1000 good ones to link.
