Hal Leonard Books has published “Zen and the Art of Recording,” the third installment in Mixerman’s “Art Of” series of books.
The series, which also includes “Zen and the Art of Producing,” “Zen and the Art of Mixing,” and “The Daily Adventures of Mixerman,” is now available both in print and in multimedia e-book format with over an hour of bonus video content for each title.
In Zen and the Art of Recording, Mixerman distills the inescapable technical realities of recording down to understandable and practical terms. Whether musician or self-taught recordist, whether at home or in a full-blown studio complex, the book focuses on discovering a definitive blueprint for recording within the current realities of the business, without ever losing focus on the core consideration—the music itself.
As Mixerman writes: “The moment you start to think in musical terms, your recordings will improve a hundredfold.”
“Mixerman has done it again,” says Ron Saint Germain, a producer/engineer with over 300 million in sales that includes U2, Whitney Houston, 311, and more. “With his signature humorous and entertaining style, he imparts a world of invaluable information for the aspiring recordist and musician in an easy to absorb (not overly technical) common sense manner.”
“‘Zen and the Art of Recording’ describes an approach rather than a recipe,” adds Bob Olhsson, who has worked with Stevie Wonder, Jackson Five, Marvin Gaye among others. “This is important because in the real world nothing works the same way every time. This is an excellent overview of the issues to be considered along with a broad variety of proven techniques for addressing them.”
