I think maybe the reason for this sort of confusion (and I know what you mean) is that these questions are kind of general, and those books are kind of general.
There's a difference, I think, between someone looking for advice who is trying to move from "demo" level to "pro" level, and someone else who is at the sonic level they want to be, but now want to work on being more artistic or creative.
My feeling is, learning how to record and mix is no different than learning anything else, like learning carpentry or something. There's not really a lot of voodoo involved (not
nearly as much as there is, or should be, in creating the actual music).
Of course, that doesn't mean there is no voodoo at all, or that some people aren't better at it or more creative than others...but I'm not sure you can really learn that, although I suppose it's worth a try...
