Any good references out there for the art of mixing/recording in a digital environment. I have mainly used Vegas for home video projects up to now but I decided I would like to add some of my own music for these projects. I know Vegas has some really good audio tools which up to now I have only used sparingly. I would love to get a good book or website reference on common techniques for recording and mixing. Especially things like EQ/Compression/Reverb and other common effects settings. I noticed that Vegas always included Noise gate/compression/EQ as a default and that kind of thing makes me wonder if that should be on every track and how it should be used? Again this is strictly home grown stuff, consumer level keyboard and maybe some vocals. A good example of a question I have is should I used the midi sequencer to set relative volume levels and just record the complete mix from the keyboard, or solo record each part and do all the mixing in Vegas.
OT: Art of Mixing/Recording?
