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!

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.

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.

"I know enough to know I don't know enough"

It was ended when Bitch Slap and Mixerman went to New York, and I didn't see
anything on ProSoundWeb that went past what had previously been written,
although I read it again to refresh my memory.

If there's a book, I hope it has more. Perhaps we're talking about Velvet
Revolver, but then I know that's not the case because I know who Mixerman is
and I haven't seen his name in conjunction with that album's release.
Besides, some of those guys can play! g

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."
