I am planning to get started with home recording using ardour, and I am well aware that there is plenty I don’t know and would like to learn. Does anyone have any recommendations for books to learn about recording and mixing on the computer? Obviously, I would like one that isn’t too specifically focused on any particular piece of (non-ardour) software. So I guess I am looking for a general introduction that will be applicable for someone using any package.
I’ve not done it myself, I think the best way to learn it is making mistakes and talking to other people about that. I was lucky and I could look over my brothers shoulders while he was recording several Bands.
