    I'm looking for any books that might be worth buying in regards to tracking and mixing instruments, any and all.

    Something to use as a guideline really, haven't found much on the net and I find reading articles far too disjointed and random. A more linear approach would be nice!

    Would be a big help :)

    EDIT: Probably should add that I'm using Protools and Logic 8 Studio.

    I'd recommend the Steinberg DVDs called Internal Mixing.
    I've read a few books and on-line articles as well as getting some amateur experience but nothing has improved my (sill very limited) mixing skills like these DVDs have.

    They don't cover tracking though.

    Mixing Audio by Roey Izhaki is a good book on mixing. Has a cd of audio examples of the processing at work which is very useful.

    Mixing With Your Mind (Stavrou...I think) is a different take on tracking and mixing and is an enjoyable read.

    As DaDumTish said The Recording Engineer's Handbook is a good (if a little basic) starting point to tracking and its sister edition The Mixing Engineer's Handbook is similar for mixing. There is also a Drum Recording Handbook by the same author which goes a bit more in depth (bit being the operative word here) and there is a DVD with it too.

    The Pro Tools 101 and further course material are worth getting if you can.

    +1.

    Do a search on Amazon for the "Paul White Basic" series of books.

    The Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook is essential for the sound engineer.
