Book recommendations within producing, sound design, or anyt


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

Recently, I've been trying to read more but the books have not really been related to music. If I want to get better at production or learn more about music business, I probably should be reading more books in this area!

 

SO, my questions is for all the book readers out there:

What are some awesome, MUST-READ books out there that are related to music?

They can be anything! Biographies of your favorite artists, music business books, production books, sound synthesis books, etc.

What are music-related books that you've read that you really want to share, helped you improve as a musician, or were just flat out entertaining?

 

If you don't have any book recommendations, what are some articles or websites that really boosted your skills as a producer?

 

Thanks!

Hey pal, I can recommend reading the following books:

 

Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio - Mike Senior

Mixing with your mind - Michael Paul Stavrou

The Mixing Engineer´s Handbook - Bobby Owsinski

Sound Reinforcement Handbook - Yamaha

Mixing Audio: Concepts, Practices and Tools - Roey Izhaki

 

Although these are not really specific to sound design, your sound will benefit from applying what you´ll find there.

 

Cheers!
