Books are still one of the best ways to get the information you need.

On professional audio this is also true. Some of the best books in the business are the ones by Bobby Owsinski. From recording, mixing and mastering all the way to explaining how hit songs work, he has covered a lot of ground in music production.

In this podcast I will comment some of the best bits and why I think these books are mandatory reads for DIY or professional musicians and pro audio enthusiasts.
