[microsound] Help for the beginner and Hello's

[thewade <pdman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Computer Music Tutorial by Curtis Roads is the best computer music 
book on the synthesis/creation/theory side of things. I use Pure-Data 
extensively and the learning curve was steep, but now I can do anything 
with it!

If anyone knows of a good book or magazine for mixing theory please let 
me know. I know how do do things and what gear to use to do it, but I 
am curious about techniques for, say, highlighting a vocal or 
instrument and giving it "room" amongst all the other instruments so 
that things do not sound muddy.

Oh, BTW, this is my first post to this list. I was reffered here by 
John Hopkins (http://neoscenes.net/). Hi!
Where are to cool venues in S.F.?
