DESCRIPTION:
. Mixerman is a Los Angeles based producer, mixer, and author who reaches a vast audience interested in the recording process and the music business through his popular blog The Daily Adventures of Mixerman (mixerman) and The Mixerman Radio Show (thewombforums)
Regardless of what those pressures are, it's important to identify and recognize them, if for no other reason than so you can learn to completely ignore them." But how? "That's where the Zen comes in.". As he states in his introduction to the new volume, "Even if you're not a professional mixer, even if you're a musician trying to mix your own work or a studio owner in a smaller market, you have your own set of pressures to deal with while you're mixing. (Technical Reference). Musicians, engineers, and producers laughed and cried at the crazy goings-on they'd never imagined or recognized all too well. Now in his REV 2, fully updated edition of Zen and the Art of Mixing, Mixerman turns his razor-sharp gaze to the art of mixing and gives followers and the uninitiated reason to
Valuable info for many levels of mixerpeople. This is the 2nd one of Mixerman's books I've read, and I can testify that there's a lot of good info here. But I think you have to really see the context of where he's coming from. Is he opinionated? Yes, very - and he'll tell you the same. He's also someone who does this for a living and does it well. I feel these books are geared a little more for those considering mixing professionally. So if you're a home recordist who basically does this stuff for fun (like me), keep that in mind. Don't let some of the ideas scare you off.. "Remarkably helpful look into high-level professional mixing workflow, art, and attitude." according to D. Kim. This is not your usual textbook-style, technique and theory book. Whereas most mixing books focus on the analytical, left-side of the brain, Zen and the Art of Mixing focuses on the "big picture".Quick foreword:I received this book the first day of release(pre-ordered) and I just finished it. Why did it take so long you wonder? Well, this is one of those rare books where every page is oozing with insights and wisdom! I wanted to take my time so I wouldn't miss anything. That's not to say his writing is archaic or requires you t. Honest, Philosophical, Comprehensive Wally & Fran This book was recommended to me by the guy that we hired to mix our past four albums. What I noticed and appreciated within the first few pages was the honesty. Mixerman doesn't claim to have all the answers. He simply shares from his experience. And his experience speaks quite loudly. Secondly, I say this book is philosophical because it doesn't tell you what EQ settings to use, for example, but instead it focuses on what matters, namely the song itself, and helps equip the reader to make the track the best it can be, making t
I could fill the rest of the magazine with praise for the individual chapters, but you get the idea. ''I rarely say 'just go buy this' but in this case it is beyond a no-brainer Beyond being an essential reference tool that I keep on my desk, this book is an entertaining and fun read on its own. From the highest level professional to the newbie hobbyist, this book is the best guide to making music out of recordings. Just buy it and thank me later.'' --Just Jazz Guitar, February 2015
