Does anyone have some book recommendations on music theory, music composition, or anything else that could futher a remixers knownledge of a overall understanding of music which would result in an improvement of remix quality?

I bought these two to teach myself some basic theory and orchestration.

Anatomy of the Orchestra (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=qK1mDSqCIR&isbn=0520050622&TXT=Y&itm=1)

Berklee Music Theory Book 1 (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=qK1mDSqCIR&isbn=0876390467&itm=19)

There not the definative books by any means, but they arent terribly expensive, and they are both great resources and references to look back on.

On the tech end..

"The Desktop Studio: A Guide to Computer-Based Audio Production" by Emile D. Menasche is pretty good. It's a good overview and introduction to the world of computer music.

"Sound Engineering Explained" by Michael Talbot-Smith, further into the tech end.

For something more in-depth, there's "Modern Recording Techniques" by David Miles Huber/Robert E. Runstein.
