I would recommend David Franz's book "Recording and Producing in the Home Studio: A Complete Guide" available from Berklee Press. http://www.berkleemusic.com/store/product?product_id=1632167&category_id=6 This is a basic guide to producing and engineering with enough advanced stuff to keep you interested. He covers tracking, microphones, editing and mixing. This is definitely a generic book, so you don't need protool$ to get through it. When I read this book, it also highlighted how powerful my PlanetCCRMA setup is! -Joe D On Mon, 2005-02-07 at 14:32, Noah Roberts wrote: > Jan Depner said: > > > Do you want to use multiband compression on a single track or on the > > mix?
