i find those books to be the most boring ones ever. if there's a new plug or something, you'll see it on a forum like this one. if i want to know something about music production, i'll ask a producer with more experience. save you a lot of time...and time is money:-) |

check out the access virus site, they currently have a tutorial of some sort or something for d/l which teaches you about analog synthesis which should come in very handy when you try and play with your synths

so knowing what your doing somehow hurts experimentation? give me break.
you can download the access pdf here
http://www.access-music.de/pdffolder/Programming_Analogue_Synths_Tutorial.zip
An incredible book on synthesis is The Computer Music Tutorial by curtis rhoads. You can usually grab one for 25 bucks used on amazon, goes over every synthesis technique ever devised(some that dont even seem to have ever even been implimented, 3d wave terrain synthesis anyone?  |

well if you havenīt had the good fortune to attend sound engineer courses, some litterature
might do the trick.the majority of these books were writtten by people who worked with sound longer than most of us has lived so i should think one could learn a trick or two. when i have something i canīt figure out i donīt hit the books though, nor do i consult this forum (or others for that matter)the answers range from idiotic to professional and itīs up to you to figure out what is what.books can offer a more neutral and professional perspective on sound,techniques etc.
ofcourse books on sound is like cooking books
no matter how you try the result never gets the same as in the book(for better or worse)  |

I totally agree with you monno.
It is a year now that i decided to start to make music from zero, and reading has helped me to understand the theory behind it. I still have a lot to learn though. Also forums like this one its a great source of info here some more.
http://www.studiocovers.com/articles.htme
www.dogsonacid.com
www.futureproducers.com
www.dancetech.com
Also check the folders you have installed your programs many times comes with manuals and tutoials in pdf format.
A good introductory text is "Desktop Studio" by Paul White where you can learn what all the abbreviation means.
"An Introduction to Analogue Synthesis" was also useful for me.
I tried noumerous times to visit different producers studio and watch them while they work but still i did not learn things until i started practicing on my own.
It is the same with learning a language, school is important for the grammar and theory but you do not learn until you practicing on the streets of a country that speak it.
