Newbie Books on Music Technology Concepts
Hi,
I'm using Ableton and am pretty new to production although have played around with Reason a bit in the past. I'm coming from background playing bass and drumming. I basically understand 'traditional' music theory and read music/drum tab but am new to synthesis. Now I know a lot of the fun is just playing about to see what happens but I was wondering if anyone can recommend any books on synthesis..i.e I'm at the stage where I get a particular sound by chance but I'd like to know more about what an LFO does or what filters do etc (Although in newbie terms). Anyone direct me to any sites/recommend any books to get me started?
Thanks
