Specifically:

Sound Design

Mixing/Mastering

Any books that are in-depth and explanatory are books that I'm looking for (or even websites). I'm very new in this type of field and I know it's all a matter of practice but can I like books to get the ball rolling sort of thing. If anyone knows of any good books PLEASE post. Thankz.
