Start here, the frist two are ok and the 3rd cost money but is a lot of fun.

Oh and one more thing...You have ears,
your friends have ears....Listen, listen, listen and listen some more until you get it right. It takes a lot of time and effort to do a right mix "even for the pros". Good luck

Nice Work... I like it! 
RG, I was hoping to find more in the area of specific artists who might have shared a secret or two about the Output settings they used in a solo or some track... Do you know of any sites that accommodate that sort of thing?
Thanks

99% of how recordings are done are guarded secrets and for good reason.
If you read this guys spec sheet and the process, you will get about a 90% insite of how all recordings are done for the pros. Very very few top 40 acts only have a "scrach the surface" idea on how there songs were mixed.
Oops forgot the link

I dont know where to find it, but I was readin somethin a few years ago and Jimmy Page had kept notes of how he recorded all the classic Zep stuff, it was interesting read, but like i said elsewhere just get some songs that sonically you like, and when you record something check your tracks against them thru the same speakers. Let your ears be your guide.

One of the most fun books I ever read was "All You Need Is Ears" by Sir George Martin about his days producing the Beatles.

I absiolutely will check that book out... George Martin really was that 5th beatle, and his role was sorely under-played during those days...
