Audio Engineering, Marketing, and more W/ Bobby Owsinski
« on: February 13, 2016, 07:58:58 pm »
The most helpful resources I've ever found on the topic of BEING a producer, (this includes, recording, mixing, mastering, marketing yourself, and more) are the "Handbook" series by the renowned engineer Bobby Owsinski. He has a collection of books full of a plethora of extremely helpful information that I would personally recommend to anyone.

EXTREMELY EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

So is this something good for complete beginners to pick up?

I browse this section of the forum and honestly I am completely lost most of the time. I'm at a point in my producing lifespan where I can make good songs but I am 100% clueless when it comes to anything mixing/mastering related.

Does this book still apply to someone on my learning level?

I would suggest this for you. It's more about the mindset (equally important as technical understanding) than what other people would talk about. It's an easy door to walk through in terms of understanding things in a very common language. It'll offer a good foundation of understanding that you can take with you for the rest of your career.

I second this. His books rule. Especially Mixing Engineer's Handbook. 80% mixing issues discussed on forums like this are solvable just by careful reading of this book alone.

Thank you. Think I'm gonna order a copy of this and the book linked in the OP.
