Default Newbie question: Any good resources on audio production?

Man, there's so many sites I wouldn't know where to start.

If I had to make a recommendation, for engineering, try www.ArtistPro.com - They have (free) "online courses" in audio engineering that do a nice job on understanding the basics.

Also, subscribe to TapeOp magazine (www.tapeop.com) It's cool, it's FREE, it covers a lot of home & project stuff. Lots of real-world articles from real-world engineers and situations.

Mastering - As an engineer, a basic knowledge of mastering can really help your engineering - Mostly to avoid mistakes that make it hard on mastering engineers. Mastering is too much of a "secret book - black arts" thing for me, and there are few who really excel at it. Two sites/places I would recommend are Bob Ludwig and Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering (www.gatewaymastering.com) and John Scrip at Audiographics (www.johnscrip.com). Scrip's site has a lot of articles that take some of the mystery out of some common mixing mistakes and misconceptions. It completely changed my engineering technique (I used to "over-engineer" everything).

I hope that helps you get started.

I'm a newbie in the world of audio production.
I'm especially interested in digital audio and
sound engineering.

Can anyone recommend some good books or websites
about the topic?

Thanks in advance.
