YMMV and good luck.

Ahh, yes, this is so true. You cannot replace experience with anything other than experience. However, "book knowledge" can give one a solid foundation, and starting point to begin from saving tons of time from aimlessly milling about. If only there were time to apprentice under a professional...
But, for hobbyist/enthusiasts perhaps this forum is the best we can get access to. None of the musicians/home recordists that I know personally can offer me advice when it comes to recording/mixing. Usually as I try to engage in conversation on these topics they just get deer-in-headlights expressions or glazed over eyes.
