    'Paul White' is an author who has some very good general introductory books in sound engineering and is also a 'sound on sound' magazine reviewer.

    "Modern Recording Techniques" by Huber & Runstein

    Not a bundle of laughs but covers most things. It has been out a good while but has had several makeovers along the way.

    He's not to everyone's taste though! Mixing With Your Mind by something Stavros is brilliant and a really entertaining read too.

    Now there's a blast from the past! I haven't even heard mention of it in about 15 years. I used to read and re-read and re-read that book. And look where it got me; Moderating a music production internet forum. :eek::P
