AnnieThin Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 hey there guysI'm an amateur guitar player who needs to broaden his horizons.. I'm looking for any comprehensible information on digital recording, mixing, sound processing, equalization, compression, fx and so on and on.. something a person of my level could grasp and use, something to build on.. I would greatly appreciate any informative and relevant stuff - anything on the net (preferably) or elsewhere you could suggest :) :blink: - 'text speak' edited out of topic title. We wouldn't normally be quite so finicky, but your profile says that "what you do best is linguistics" and the irony was just too much to bear. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magus Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hi, There are lots of good evening classes and college courses now on music technology. Why not see what your local college has to offer. Subscribe to 'Sound on Sound' magazine. This carries a range of articles, from tips and techniques to equipment reviews and interviews with musicians, engineers and producers. There are now many good books on the subject - Sound on Sound has adverts for some - there are some good, basic books by Paul White, who is part of the editorial team! also I believe that Turnkey shop and Studiospares list a variety of books on their web catalogues.

bassman Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I would definitely second the advice on Paul White's books, they are easy to read and have plenty of illustrations while still having a comprehensive technical content - not overly dumbed down like some other texts! The Harmony Central website also has quite a good crop of useful technical articles which are worth a read. Harmony Central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbsy Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Online, the "RaneNote" tutorial are excellent. Have a look at: http://www.rane.com/library.html and scroll down past the brochures and advertising section to the "Rane Notes and Tutorials" part. As for books, I was about to chase you in the direction of the recommended reading FAQ but I just looked and there's only two sound books there! One of them, the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook is a "must have" but it's not a "sit down and read" book, rather a reference to dig into as required. At the simple end of the scale, I've sometimes recommended "Audio Made Easy (or how to be a sound engineer without really trying" by Ira White. It is at a VERY basic level but, unusually, what the author includes is technically accurate. It's at: http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0793572932.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg Bob Edit: Amazon link added. Clicking through earns TBR money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
