Recording and Producing in the Home Studio by David Franz (2004, Paperback)

To cite the book, page vi in the introduction, paragraph two, "This book is for artists, songwriters, bands, and aspiring engineers and producers who want to better understand how to engineer and produce their own recordings in a home or project studio. As artists and/or songwriters, it may not be clear what specific functions engineers and producers perform in the creation of music (though you probably already perform many of theses functions). For you, the delineation between functions will disappear because youo'll learn to do them all at the same time!
