hi all,

i require some pointers to sound/audio engineering.

somebody provided me with
http://sound-engineering.blogspot.com

i am looking for more such resources.

1. Don't believe anything you see on the internet.

especially eBay or a Usenet group.

2. Don't ever believe salesmen.

or ads or spec sheets.

3. Spend all your money on monitoring so you know what's
wrong with everything else.

If taken literally, there is nothing else! ;-)

4. Listen to everything as carefully as possible, often
using only one ear so your brain can't do any stereo
stuff to compensate for room problems and cause you
to miss them.

It's the old stick your finger in one ear trick.

and close both eyes.

Just stop walking around, first!

5. Listen, listen, and listen more. Always compare the
original sound with the recording.

Agreed. My approach to both SR and recording has been to go up to the stage
and listen to the music (not necessarily just the sound), and then get as
much of it as possible into the product.
