Good audio engineering books?

Post by zosomagik » Mon Aug 11, 2014 8:48 pm

Anybody have any recommendations? More focused towards the digital side of things. I've also downloaded a few over the past few months, and they've been beginner books, but a lot of them spend half of the time focusing on talking to clients or being friendly during sessions and stuff. But that's not what I'm looking for, I want to take my mixes/mastering to the next level because I feel that they're lacking. I look up stuff on sound on sound and other resources and I hear things like "linear phase EQ" and "dithering" I'm out of the loop on things like this and I don't want to be anymore.

It will likely trash what every monitoring setup you have, but a lot of good stuff in it lol.

I'd go straight into Bob Katz' contribution. Yes it says mastering in the title but it covers so much.

I also wrote a blog post on the matter as well. (It's mainly catered towards mastering but there's a fair few mix resources in there as well)
