book recommendation Subject description: EQ and Compression |
|
|
I need a good recommendation for a book on EQ and compression. I just spent some time on Amazon and found that most books are either for the beginner, i.e, how to record into your computer or far too complex.
Is there any book that explains EQ and compression without all the excess noise?
I am using Digital Performer for the mixdown.
Thanks,

This is good advice.
You can just as well read some of the articles( at the SOS site ) about how some classic albums were recorded and produced. Some of this info matched with the more factual how to stuff might be very enlightening indeed. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

Yup, you sure have. Not very subtle though. Cosmetic surgery eh?
Please remove that one from your sig ASAP. One more post with that link or similar shit in it and you are out of here.

Besides the cosmetic surgery spamaradam, the book recommendation is totally out there... I own the Bob Katz book and read a lot of parts of it, it is very high end stuff, impossible to grasp and put to use in most homestudio environments.
It is a very nice book and really informative, but when somebody adds:
Quote: | Is there any book that explains EQ and compression without all the excess noise? |
to their question, to point they need a clear and simple read on audio engineering/mixing topics, it is very weird to recommened Katz!
Sorry for the rant (spam ), but I had a long day and posts like this get me sharp and running again!

Good book |

Hello,
I am relatively new to more in depth mixing and EQing, but I recently purchased a book called Mastering Audio by Bob Katz. I haven't read the whole thing, but what I have is very good. This book gives perspectives for both the sincere engineer, but also has a lot of information for beginners. And while I haven't applied all the principles present in the book, it looks like a good read in addition to a helpful reference for your mixing. |

I own Bobby Owinski's "The Mixing Engineer's Handbook." It's pretty informative for someone just starting out, especially because mixing in digital is different than analog. HOWEVER, only half the book is usable, because the other half is the interviews he conducted to get the info used in the first part. You may want to check the library for this or skim through it in a bookstore first. |
