Engineering/Producing Books?

[SorenP]

Not so much instructional material, but just wondering if anyone has any other books that are good reads for producers and engineers. I just got done with a book called Behind the Glass. Its a series of interviews and essays with a whole variety of killer producers like Alan Parsons and Brian Wilson, some really cool points of view and tips and tricks.

Here There and Everywhere by Geoff Emmerick. Great stories of recording The Beatles and crazy stuff going on in the studio.

nice thanks.

heh, actually its the same co-author Howard Massey as the behind the glass book. He interviews Emmerick too.

Professional Microphone Techniques by David Miles Huber

It's got a lot of good info, but many of you may have already learned most of this from experience.

Still a nice reference occasionally and an interesting read. He's concise with the theory and minimal acoustics. (Hard to go too far into acoustics without PDE's).

I thought that book was great! A huge tome, indeed. The Tape Op book is also pretty fun; worth the purchase if you are an old-school 4-tracker, like me. Great interviews, and a lot of good tips and tricks.
