Synopsis

The Story
In the summer of 2002, I began to chronicle my Daily events on a Major Label recording session with a bidding-war band, an infamous producer, and a seemingly limitless budget. Every night, after a long session with these crazy characters, I posted up the day's events.

The Reaction
As Metro reporter Gina Arnold put it, "Mixerman is supposed to be writing about recording techniques, but somehow, through that prism, he has hit upon a gripping story." That's right, it was even mentioned in random newspapers at the time.When I began posting my story, I had an audience of 200. By week 4 that grew to 25,000. And by the last entry, I was posting to the delight of over 150,000 music business professionals around the world. There were discussion threads all over the music business and recording boards, debating every decision we made along the way. The story went viral before viral was even really a thing.

If you pursue the reviews, you'll find that most people find my diaries sidesplittingly hilarious. Others view them as reprehensible. But really, that just makes it all even more hilarious. Whatever your reaction might be, this story is, without a doubt, the most infamous studio story ever told.

Mixerman has received multiple Gold and Platinum awards for his work as a mixer, recordist, and producer.

In 2008, Hal Leonard picked up his Adventures, and since 2010 he has written a number of books on the recording arts, including his most popular work to date, Zen & the Art of MIXING 2021. After 25 years in Los Angeles, Mixerman now mixes and produces records from his room in Asheville, NC, where he also writes and releases books under his own imprint, Mixerman Publishes.
