Studio Resource Book Catalog: Click Here to Launch Metering and Gain Structure: Click Here to Launch
An interactive catalog of over 90 hand-selected how-to and reference books related to audio production. This free catalog sorts these books into nine different categories and has separate listings for both standard print editions and downloadable digital Kindle editions, making it easy to find what you're looking for. Once you have found what you want, just click your mouse to buy your own copy directly from Amazon.com. Having trouble distinguishing your dBVU from your dBFS? Do you set your recording levels by the meters but the levels just don't come out the way you think they should? One of the "secrets" of the pros  for making quality recordings is knowing how to read and set signal levels throughout the recording chain to get the most out of both the signal and the gear. This free on-line applet explains the fundamentals of this subject in an interactive, step-by-step way. 
Interactive Frequency Charts: Click Here to Launch Compression Uncompressed hyperbook: Click Here to Launch
Containing the best charts of their kind available anywhere, this free  user-interactive applet is built around two main charts; one showing the overall frequency ranges of the various musical instruments and another showing the average sensitivity of the human ear to frequency across the frequency spectrum. Chock full of displayed and mouse-over information detailing many important characteristics of the specific instruments and the various frequency ranges.
This first in a new series of  electronic "notebooks" is a detailed and comprehensive guide to the fundamentals of audio compression for music production. Written for the newly budding engineer, but far more in-depth than most other "beginner tutorials", this free tutorial covers everything from compression theory to types of compressors,  how to use the various compression controls, when to use and not use compression, and specific real world compression techniques.


Imagine having an entire library of reference material from some of the best audio engineers and writers in the business, and used by many of the top engineering schools in the world, all right in the palm of your hand!

From studio construction and acoustic design, to recording technology and engineering techniques, to the business and legal aspects of running your own recording studio or making your own music, anything you need to know is just a bookmark away when you wirelessly load your Kindle with the best electronic titles available.
