[DOC] Wanderlust by Nick Payne in Arts-Photography

Description

In his first book; The Daily Adventures of Mixerman; the author detailed the frustrating and often hilarious goings on during the process of recording a major-label band. Musicians; engineers; and producers laughed and cried at the crazy goings-on theyd never imagined - or recognized all too well. Now Mixerman turns his razor-sharp gaze to the art of mixing and gives followers and the uninitiated reason to hope - if not for logic and civility in the recording studio then at least for a good sounding record. With a firm commitment to art over technology and to maintaining a grasp of each; Mixerman outlines his own approach to recording success; based on his years mixing records in all genres of music for all kinds of artists; often under trying circumstances. As he states in his introduction to the new volume; "Even if youre not a professional mixer; even if youre 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 youre mixing. Regardless of what those pressures are; its important to identify and recognize them; if for no other reason than so you can learn to completely ignore them." But how? "Thats where the Zen comes in."
