I would recommend David Franz's book "Recording and Producing in the
Home Studio: A Complete Guide" available from Berklee Press.

This is a basic guide to producing and engineering with enough advanced
stuff to keep you interested. He covers tracking, microphones, editing
and mixing. This is definitely a generic book, so you don't need
protool$ to get through it. When I read this book, it also highlighted
how powerful my PlanetCCRMA setup is!

Do you want to use multiband compression on a

mix? If you want to use it on the mix just run Ardour's master bus out
to JAMin and then back into a new stereo track.
Speaking of jamin and compression, what are some good books that would
teach a person what these tools are for? Preferably it would be more than
a ProTools book and more of a general recording/mixing techniques book. I
am brand new to the idea of recording so I am pretty lost when it comes to
using any of this stuff for more than the very basics. I tried using some
compression and noise gates in one of my recordings and just broke stuff.
I don't understand things like "write,play,touch" in the menus so I
can't
realy use any of it effectively.
