Music Production
Make Mine Music by Bruce Swedien – book
TapeOp – Magazine
The following are collections of interviews with engineers and producers spanning decades of music. The one common thread is that there are no rules when it comes to recording and mixing. I never tire of reading about different engineer’s approaches. It’s like watching different drummers play the same beat – they each have their own “thing” and approach.

This Is Your Brain On Music “A layperson’s guide to the emerging neuroscience of music. Dr. Levitin is an unusually deft interpreter, full of striking scientific trivia. Levitin is a cognitive psychologist who runs the Laboratory for Music Perception, Cognition and Expertise at McGill University in Montreal, perhaps the world’s leading lab in probing why music has such an intense effect on us.” -The New York Times
