Synopsis

This book has been revised significantly since it was originally released. Given that Mixing deals with technology, you would be best to investigate a more current version. New versions will come out every September and will carry the next year in the title.

About this title

About the Author

Mixerman has received multiple Gold and Platinum awards for his work as a mixer, recordist, and producer. He's made records of note with The Pharcyde (Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde), Ben Harper (Fight For Your Mind, Will to Live, Burn to Shine), Tone Loc, Spearhead, Amy Grant, Lifehouse, Barenaked Ladies, Hilary Duff, Foreigner, and Australian phenom Pete Murray (and many others).

Mixerman gained notoriety as an author from his first work, The Daily Adventures of Mixerman, a satire of a Major Label recording session from the early aughts that delighted and surprised well over 150,000 readers. 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.

From the Back Cover

"Finally, a book that teaches the Art of great mixing, not the pseudoscience. At long f*#@ing last." -Ken Scott (The Beatles, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Elton John)

Here, in a replica of this recently exhumed tome (miraculously preserved within the chassis of a Sound Tools rig at the bottom of The La Brea Tarpits), we present Mixerman's philosophies on the art of mixing. Well known for his hilarious recording exploits in The Daily Adventures of Mixerman, the author now provides his tactical reasoning without the colored lens of absurdist big-label disasters.

In this work, Mixerman distills a successful mixing career's worth of lessons and realizations into understandable and sensible terms for both enthusiastic musician and professional technician alike. As Mixerman points out, "If you change how you think about mixing, you'll be well on your way to learning how to mix."

I never thought anybody could write a meaningful book about mixing but Mixerman has done exactly that. I learned early-on that great recording engineering and mixing is largely a matter of keeping your mind out of the way and here is one man's brilliant approach to accomplishing precisely that. -Bob Olhsson (Stevie Wonder, Jackson Five)

"Without belaboring the technical, he encompasses the creative, spiritual, practical, and business aspects in a simple and entertaining read. This will surely be a huge help to budding mixers and interested music consumers alike!" -Ron Saint Germain (U2, Mick Jagger, 311, Whitney Houston)

"Dough head. You gave away the farm." -Aardvark, cohost of The Mixerman Radio Show. (Alan Parsons, Johnny Reed)
