Where do I start?

Hi Guys, EE student and forum newbie here. Looking for some guidance on industry standards/what to aim for when building amplifiers.

In a past life I was a studio engineer so most of the kinds of projects I'm hoping to build would be in the vein of Mic/Line Preamps, EQ's, Compressors. Mostly analogue for now.

Does anyone know of good reading materials for someone studying EE but interested in Audio Electronic design specifically? My course is great, but far too general so far and non of my tutors really have any interest in audio. I have Small Signal Audio Design by Douglas Self which has proven useful. I was also looking at the AES Journal subscription, does anyone have any experience in this? Is this useful for a learner?

Apologies if this is a subject covered before. I tried combing through the forum but couldn't find anything along these lines.
