Re: What do you think of these books?
They are good.
A few others I recommend: Modern Recording Techniques- David Miles Hubert Yamaha's Live Sound Handbook The Music Business Handbook Confessions of Record Producer Sorry I don't have authors for the latter ones. These books offered me a lot of insight into recording and the music industry.

Re: What do you think of these books?
One I can't rave about is, "Pro Tools 5.1 For Music Production -recording, editing, and mixing" by Mike Collins...
This tome should've been titled, "I'll Remind You Of Some Advanced Techniques (which I'll mention but not really show you how to set up) In Pro Tools, The Program You've Been Using For Years, While I Rattle On About Some Nearly-Famous Bands I Worked With At One Time!" For me, still getting the hang of the program, almost useless. PLUS, the author is English, so expect terms like "Drop-In' instead of "Punch-In' and it's written for a Mac, so you'll get 'Command-Shift' shortcuts. (speak English! (PC)I kept thinkin'!) On the other hand, I just got ahold of "Producing In The Home Studio With Pro Tools" and, although you will probably find more basic material than you need, (it could be about half as long for what I was seeking) it's very readable and there is a lot of good .PDF documentation on the CD, -some of which I haven't found anywhere else- Bonus! The CD has some Waves and other top quality plug-in demos. |

Re: What do you think of these books?
I just picked up "Confessions of a Record producer" a few days ago and I can't let it down.
Not much to do with miking a drumkit or how to set your pre-delay in a reverb plugin, but when it comes to the ins and outs of how the music industry does work (as opposed to should work), it's the best book I've ever read. pk
