The Mixerman Diaries were posted on Pro Sound Web a couple of years
ago, but were never completed. I have learned that they have been
completed and are out in book form. They can be had at
www.mixerman.net.

For those of you who are not familiar with them, they are the story by
an AE named Mixerman (who may post here - I'm not sure) who is
recording the "hot new band" named Bitch Slap for a major label. The
stories chronicle the recording sessions and all the problems. It's a
pretty good and very funny read.

Oh yeah! Read it everyday, a real disappointment when it ended. The
"buzz" claimed it was a complete fabrication conjured up by Fletcher,
but written by someone else. Loved the part about the replacement
drummer who required super loud headphones. The author claims they
drove the headphones so loud that the drivers caught fire. Not funny
if true, but still... damn those phones must have been loud. :)

Sure miss the daily adventures.

The studio I recently left after 2.5 years used PrivateQ multichannel
headphone systems; very effective, flexible, and quite loud. The
assistant on a major label tracking date came into the shop one day with
a set of phones, told me he thought they were bad. When he handed them
to me, they were almost too hot to hold.

He said that the bass player kept turning them up, because they were not
loud enough. I decided to go into the room to investigate further.

I walked into the love room between takes, prepared to sweet talk the
bassist and find out what was wrong. When I opened the door, there was
the bassist, with a knit cap on, and the headphones on over the cap. I
turned right around, walked out into the hallway, and told the assistant
he would have to respectfully ask the bassist to take of his goddam cap!

It says what was on the web was 2/3 of the book and the book contains the
last "third" and the ending. But he says there might be another book so I
don't know what's up with that. Also, it's been edited which worries me a
little. It was perfect as was. If "cleaned up" it wouldn't be as good I
don't think. I'd like to hear from anyone who bought the book.

I must have a faulty memeory on this. I remember that it was posted in full
and then the last 1/3 pulled later.

Apparently the rest of the story of the band. He stopped posting the
dirary at a break and never started again. On radio, they used to
call that a "cliff hanger."

I had a friend of mine picking them off prosound web for me for awhile
but missed quite a few.

fOr those who've seen mixerman.net please tell me if these diaries
are in ascii text format. IF so I'd run right over to download the
whole thing as it was a damned funny read. COuld see parallels
between these clowns and some groups I've recorded in the past. ONly
sad part was these clowns I worked with weren't major label bands, nor
was there major label money involved, just egos and stupidity untiil
their money ran out.

Does the fact that you put "elitist" in quotation marks mean that you meant
it ironically? 'Cause if not, I'm going to have to accuse you of being a

Sorry, I should have just kept my fingers shut. Since obviously
Mixerman doesn't want his identity to be known, I'll respect his
desire for pricacy (or rather, anonymity).

I'll tell you that he isn't famous enough that I know who he is in the
industry, but then I don't get around much.
