Re: [LAU] Q: educational websites/books on comp. audio/recording in general

Hi Chris, There's a lot of resources out there: also on a lot of different angles of audio engineering. What is is that your trying to do / learn? 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. I'm doing bits of house / dubstep, and some recording stuff, these are the books I've got: For electro music of various types: Dance Music Manual - Rick Snowman<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> For mic placement / recording advice: Creative Recording 2 - Paul White<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> For understanding what you're doing w.r.t effects, sampling rates etc: Computer Music Synthesis Composition & Performance - Charles Dodge<http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Music-Synthesis-Composition-Perform… 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 :) Hth, -Harry
