DJ_Rx Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hello there, my name is Ville and I´m currently doing my bachelor of arts degree on one of the commercial radio stations located here in Finland. I´m going to do a whole "roof production" for the channel, including IDs, Promos spots, jingles etc. Now, not only do I have to produce all these, but I have to do a hefty written report about the subject and this is where I need your help. I´m looking for a radio production books that cover this matter and which go more deeper to the topic. I´m looking for a "good read" books, not too heavy tech books but not too light beginners books either, to find a new angle to the whole production and maeby some few production tips as well to help me on the way. Thanks for your advice! :biggrinthumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_Rx Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 thanks for the links mate, I checked them trough and it seems that they mostly cover on the practical side of radio production. I´m looking material about eqs, compression, effects & mastering audio and have not yet found a comprehesive release that would cover this aspect of radio production...

Arfa B Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I´m looking material about eqs, compression, effects & mastering audio and have not yet found a comprehesive release that would cover this aspect of radio production... There have been some books on this subject over the years, going back SONY (I think it was?) produced a book on tape editing. Being a very subjective thing, it is different for every person that produces audio work- and describing how it should be done, is sometimes difficult in words. You have to EXPERIENCE it, to understand really. I am afraid, experience is the only REAL teacher! I would strongly recommend listening to the "Record Producers" series on the BBC, that will teach you a lot about the techniques employed in music/audio production. I think it's on BBC6 http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/ If I have helped you with a Freebie- please be kind enough to add a link from your own site or blog to mine- thanks! http://arthurburton.net Thank You!

I´m kinda looking a book that would give me a good ground to get into the very essence of radio production, as it´s pretty much all the same as studio production but at the same time there are wide differences that differ from studio production. Now I know there are books that cover this area, as I´ve seen few books about the matter could anyone point me to the right direction where to look for these books?
