Get great takes at home.

It has been through many editions, so you know it has been around for a while. This covers the tools and day-to-day practices of music recording and production. You will learn the ins and outs of room acoustics and designing a studio. Gain techniques for mic placement and running a session. Get a solid grounding in both theory and industry practice. If you want a more in-depth understanding of the topics covered in the YouTube channels here, this is a good place to start.

One of the first people to bring audio education online, Graham Cochrane is the man behind one of the largest YouTube channels devoted to home recording. If you are just starting your journey into recording, he has years of material to dive in on. He has covered many of the topics anyone getting into recording will ask.

This is another great YouTube channel for producers and musicians alike. It was created by producer and engineer, Warren Huart. He has a genuine want to help musicians make excellent music. He creates a lot of exceptional content on his YouTube channel and has a bunch of free resources on his website.

This is another channel similar to The Recording Revolution, now called Mastering.com. The content is targeted to people starting their journey into recording and audio. If you are a DIY musician and looking into self-recording, the content here is another good option.

This is a great resource for musicians that are looking to start recording themselves at home. He gives practical advice and tutorials for any... audio issues you may have. I recommend this article:

The ultimate guide to getting great home recordings

I subscribed to this magazine many years ago and got a lot of value out of the great interviews with artists and the recording process. There is an interview with Sufjan Stevens that I would recommend everyone to read which covers how he created his beautiful debut albums with horrible gear and even worse recording technique. Check out Sufjan Stevens' Tape Op interview.

The Unstoppable Recording Machine is one of the best communities and resources for all engineers and producers, especially in rock and metal. They have a ton of great tutorials that cover most of the topics you could ever have a question about. The Nail the Mix program has helped me a lot to see the decisions top engineers make to create professional mixes.

If you are new to editing audio and drums in particular, Warren goes into detail how to edit with Pro Tools Beat Detective, but the principles will be the same for other methods and DAWs as well.

John Douglas goes in-depth with editing some heavy drums in one of URM's fast tracks. He covers using Beat Detective and Elastic Audio in Pro Tools. Learning the keyboard shortcuts he mentions alone makes the video worth it.

He is a very knowledgeable acoustician that has worked with some big names and did many installations for studios in Nashville. He provides a wealth of knowledge on his YouTube channel and has free DIY acoustic panel build plans on the resource page of his website.

The field of acoustics is filled with a lot of bullshit and just plain false information. Jesco Lohan takes a practical approach to helping you get your room sounding its best. He isn't going to sell you the latest foam or activated charcoal.

This is the design of the acoustic panel that I made. I followed this design because it is much lighter and allows sound to enter from the sides. I highly recommend it and I am happy with the results I have gotten from the 6 I have built.

Interested in building a studio room from the ground up or totally renovating an existing room? This book goes over in detail how to build a studio with a get-it-done approach without being overly technical. There is a thread on Gearspace where people asked the author questions directly: Questions for the author thread

This is for people that really want to take a deep dive into how sound works physically and psychoacoustically. I recommend it if you want to get nerdy on the topic of acoustics.
