Production Books that get into EQing and such
Production Books that get into EQing and such Posted on: 15.05.2010 by Verona Fashbaugh Hi all, I'm looking for a decent book that covers something I don't know a whole lot about: EQing, and frequencies in general. Basically, I need a book that covers everything that isn't about synths and creating rhythm patterns and song structure and all that kind of thing. What I'm trying to say is that I can already make a sound that has what I want, I just need to learn how to make it sound good, from a technical perspective. Any thoughts? | |

| Riccardo gava 23.05.2010 | I'm believeing of getting this one... looks goooood! |
| Toni Hinga 19.05.2010 | FOR SURE! PLUS 1 ON GOOD MONITORS! I use 3 sets to gauge my mixes. If you go this route don't skimp on the switcher as a lot of them add artifacts like the mackie big knob and Presonus options...gotta go coleman, goldpoint or something of that caliber. You can't mix what you can't hear so ya, even more important than studying up is soundcard-monitor setup. Don't skimp on either! RME or even better, Lynx or Lavry for soundcard if you can swing it....if your on a budget Emu cards sound good but I would stay away from m-audio crap at all costs. Good luck |
| Diogo Ribeiro 19.05.2010 | +1 to Computer Music. The biggest book that made a difference on me is Sample Magic's the secret of house music production - it's really useful. To be honest though the best thing you can do is to get a set of decent monitors. Don't scrimp on them - at least Mackie HR-264's. If you haven't got them then you won't be able tell the right frequencies to cut and boost. |
| Toni Hinga 19.05.2010 | This is the book that enlightened me [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Mixing-Engineers-Handbook-Second/dp/1598632515/ref=pd_sim_b_2[/ame] A must read imo |

| Breana Singerman 15.05.2010 | But in all honesty, if it sounds good then it's good. Just get in there and start tweaking those knobs |
| Breana Singerman 15.05.2010 | Look for books by Bob Katz. Amazing engineer,should be able to find some that fit your need |
| Cammie Cornelius 16.05.2010 | CM (Computer Music) have done some decent issues "Make Music Now" "The Beginers Guide To Computer Music" "Fix Your Mix" and "09 Digital DJ Guide" which would contain allot of the info you would want i believe you can still get them on back order off the computer music site |
