If you learn well from the printed word, Thomson Course Technologies publish a superb line of third-party manuals for music production software, such as Nuendo Power. Manufacturer's manuals tell you how to do things, which is nice if you know what you need to do. The Power series fills in that gap.

The books are very specific as to software version. I don't know whether everything stays in print or whether you will have to hunt around on ebay, but I couldn't recommend anything more highly. Current titles are in stock at Barnes and Noble.

I know something about music and something about computers and recording, but the combination was about to get the best of me until I found "PC Recording Studios for Dummies." It is the best organized single source for an introduction to the subject I have found.
