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.
