Definitely. I personally can't vouch for this book but know a few people who say it's helped them understand things a lot more: The Mixing Engineer's Handbook by Bobby Owsinski.

Back when I started mixing, it was before there were in-depth books such as these, so most of what I know is from trial and error, which is also a great way to learn!

Another thing you might try as well is presets that come with digital effects (plugins); they are usually named after their intended uses like "Female Vocals" etc. I would advice you use these as starting guides only and trust your ears!

Thanks for the question and best of luck!
