Master Handbook of Acoustics

by F. Alton Everest

The goal of this book is to apply the principles of acoustics to the audio arts. This involves serving as an interpreter of major trends and the literature for students and practitioners in the audio field. Along with covering the more theoretical aspects of acoustics, the book applies the theory to the design of specialized audio spaces such as the home listening room, the control room, and the multi-track-recording studio.

A must-read for anyone interested in the realms of acoustics. Thorough, theoretical and practical.

If you ever find yourself having to write a training manual on acoustics, this book should be your wing man. It was worth every penny I will now have to pay in library late fees.

This was the first one I read (related to music), It was a good introduction for learning more stuff like mixing, producing and (a little bit) of mastering.

Also it's pretty great for know what sound is, the way your ears function and other interesting things.
