Hi Chris,<br><br>There's a lot of resources out there: also on a lot of different angles of audio engineering.<br>What is is that your trying to do / learn?<br><br>For instance doing the "home band" recording, I'd advise a lot of experimenting, and a bit of reading on mic placement + basic understanding of sample rates, latency etc... If your trying to create a soundscape track, the reccomendation would be totally different.<br>
<br>I'm doing bits of house / dubstep, and some recording stuff, these are the books I've got:<br>For electro music of various types:<br><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0240521072/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=recordingwork-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0240521072">Dance Music Manual - Rick Snowman</a><br>
<br>For mic placement / recording advice:<br><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/184492002X/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=recordingwork-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=184492002X">Creative Recording 2 - Paul White</a><br>
<br>For understanding what you're doing w.r.t effects, sampling rates etc:<br><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Music-Synthesis-Composition-Performance/dp/0028646827">Computer Music Synthesis Composition & Performance - Charles Dodge</a><br>
<br>A lot can also be learnt with youtube tutorials... however there's also a lot of rubbish on there. If you have lots of time to go trawling trough endless video's on recording / production, then you'll come across a couple of real gems. Mostly just junk though :)<br>
