Great read for those so interested.

This is a great book, you can probably find it in the library. A lot of it relates to resonances in open or closed air columns (like a pipe organ).

Well, the math involved is fairly high-level, we're talking at least a few semesters of calculus, differential equations and partial differential equations, as well as the physics courses that teach you how to apply them. But from a layman's perspective, maybe someone can recommend a good book on home recording? Any good text should at least explain why you should do things the way you're doing them to achieve the best sound.

There was a book on Amazon that I was going to buy for my ex when we were still dating (she's a professional orchestra musician) but she turned out to be an awful person. I'll try and remember what it was called.

EDIT: this isn't it, but it looks good: http://www.amazon.com/Music-Physics-Engineering-Dover-Books/dp/0486217698
