... if there are any books on
making the best of using what you have, that'll help too.

BELOW IS A CUT AND PASTE OF A POST I MADE A YEAR AND A HALF AGO...

This question or need for advice comes up both here and on the Tapeop
message board about once every month (if not more often). So, once
again, here are what I believe are the absolute best books you'll find.
1: Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook by Davis and Jones
2: Master Handbook of Acoustics by Everest
3: The Mixing Engineers Handbook by Owsinski
I genuinely believe the above titles to be absolutely _essential_ for
anyone with a serious interest in ANY aspect of audio engineering.
Some other very cool titles that you might want to check out for
various reasons would include:
1: Modern Recording Techniques by Huber and Runstein
2: The Recording Studio Handbook by Woram
3: The complete Handbook of Magnetic Recording by Jorgensen
4: The Tube Amp Book by Pittman
5: The Audio Cyclopedia by Tremaine
6: Principles of Digital Audio by Pohlman
7: And check your local thrift and used book stores for an old copy of
the "Basic Electronics" textbook by Grob. You'll probably find one
like I did for under $1 and it will help you soooooooo much. Happy
