Is all audio literature shallow? Where is the IN-DEPTH info?

Have to admit you make some good points there. Maybe I should call
myself a producer (but it sounds so posh). Still, I don't see why
every sound engineer should have to re-invent the wheel. We should be
able to build on what our pre-decessors have found, if music recording
is to advance.
No one said you had to reinvent the past 100 years of basic
electronics, but how the hell do you think that you are gonna "build
on what our pre-decessors have found" if you do not fully understand
what they learned? The cliche is true, you gotta know the rules
before you can break 'em. If you have any interest in pursuing the
engineering side of things, you need to understand that "technical
side of the story." If you don't see why you'll need it now, you
will later.
And that doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of detailed texts on the
application side of things. The Mixing Engineer's Handbook and the
Mastering Engineer's Handbook are just two books packed with the sort
of inside tips you are looking for. And there are many far more
advanced books on mic technique, stereo recording, location recording,
etc., just waiting for anyone with a Visa card. You just need to move
beyond the obvious sources. I just moved into a new space last month
and I filled a 6FT tall bookcase with NOTHING but pro audio related
books. One of these days I hope to put up a list of my favorites on
my website, but the move has got me way behind on my work. But at
least half of those books are tech related, so you don't seem like
you'd be interested........
