I'm gonna take the space here to plug what's become a major source of entertainment for me and many of my friends. At www.prosoundweb.com/recording/mm/week1/mm.php you can find what's known as The Daily Adventures of Mixerman — A Documentary. It began innocently enough as an "anonymous" engineer in the L.A. area decided to do nightly postings of his days in the studio on a new session that began July 27th. The hijinx that ensue are amazing, from the producer missing the first week to the bass player going AWOL. It now seems as if he's either not come back to this project or decided to drop the diary after a while. It's amazing to sit and read these accounts, as Mixerman is a great writer (and sounds like he's also a great engineer), but after laughing a lot and being amazed at the crazy events what finally dawned on me was that this is exactly how I don't want to spend my own time in the studio (and Mixerman questions this a lot too).
