Reddit reviews Guerrilla Home Recording, Second Edition

Guerrilla Home Recording ... might be a little dated now, though I never had the second edition, so it may be a little more current. Either way, well worth a read.

This is a pretty good book: http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Recording-Techniques-Sixth-Edition/dp/0240806255/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_4

As is this: http://www.amazon.com/Guerrilla-Home-Recording-Second-Edition/dp/1423454464/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335732446&sr=1-2

When I was learning this book was amazing. I read the first edition, but it was excellent.

I recommend both of these books highly, and they are worth buying. But if you look, you can find pdf versions available on the web.

Guerrilla Home Recording is great - especially the bit about mic techniques. It's generally about how to do more with less. It can get a bit outdated in parts, but otherwise 10/10 do recommend.

Buy This : A must own for someone new. It teaches the most important lesson in music.

Your ears are the final judge not the equipment.

This book will teach you how to get wonderful from nothing and using just about the worst of everything.

In short, microphones. Don't know if you can plug more than one into an iPhone but you need more than one to really make it work.

This book is really good for getting a basic understanding of the recording process and ideas for doing it with what you have.

That said, studio time is cheap these days. Depending on what you want to do it may actually be the easiest route.

I recommended this book to someone in the No Stupid Questions thread last week...

I think it covers fundamental recording basics very well; it teaches you how to think processes through. Some more advanced options that still cover basics:

The Recording Engineer's Handbook, Bobby Owsinski

The Mixing Engineer's Handbook, Bobby Owsinski

The Mastering Engineer's Handbook, Bobby Owsinski
(I must like his writing, or something.)

Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio, Mike Senior

And, of course, the Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook... Not specifically for recording, but it's a great resource for a lot of audio information.
