Books on recording?

[RebSeth]

Can anyone reccomend some books on the fundamentals of recording?

I guess I'm looking for something that will also focus on analog recording.

Thanks!

Not as fun a read as the tapeop book, but great info.

I should mention, If you get an older used copy (Modern recording techn) It has all the cool gear like 1176s, api consoles, studer tape decks, ect awesome analog info on everything from kepex to Neumann record lathes, the newer one has computer stuff added, sounds to me like you'd love an older edition, I do.

hey seth, my studio is sorta close to you, if I have some time you can come hang out for an afternoon and ask some questions, it will do you more good than a book, nobody who knows anything about recording really has time to write a book... My place is %100 discrete analog, theres a computer for video games and internet porn. Isnt big blue meanie near you? Id hit that place up to.

And there's an awesome Behringer console in there. On top of that, Dave makes a pretty good cup of tea and has good taste in beer, too.

check out Bob Katz 'Mastering Audio'. its definetly more for the mastering guys, but it has huge sections on mixing with digital and analog stuff.

John Woram's "The Recording Studio Handbook". Volume 1 or 2. It's been out of print forever, try looking online for it.

Books are great. The Mixing Engineer's Handbook, Modern Recording Techniques, The Audio Recording Handbook, Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science, Behind the Glass, Professional Microphone Techniques, The Art of Mixing. I have tons, literally. Including magazines like TapeOp, Mix, Home Recording, Guitar Player, Bass Player, Guitar For the Practicing Musician, I can't possibly name them all. University libraries are great resources.

Like Steve Vai has said, you can read all you want, the bottom line is, "you still have to do it".

Whatever that means!
