record/master instructional dvd/book advice wanted

[nueme]

Looking for good dvd/cd/book that audibly demonstrates recording tracking and mastering concepts and their application, ie. EQ, compression, limiting, signal processing, mastering, etc.

It's one thing to read about this stuff, quite another to use it. Have seen 'Shaping Your Sound' series by a guy named Tom Lubin that looks ancient, albeit many of the concepts involved have been around for a while and still apply. Also seen the 'Waves' offering, but I dont't think I am interested in buying their plugs at the moment. Can anyone comment on either of these two options or any other you might have experience with?

I know I am supposed to use my ears, but I find a little training is always helpful and I actually have been fumbling at this for quite a while and I would like to take it to the next level.

Thanks so much for your help.
