This Is the Gear You Need
The goal of this book is simple: to help the modern musician convert recording decisions into musical ones, and technical decisions into practical ones. Not only do I explain the musical strategies for making a Killer Record, I also break the technical information down to its core so that you can strategize based on your recording reality. So long as you have what you need to make a record, I can help you make it a Killer Record. This book is the only additional gear you’ll require.
“It was so refreshing to have a clear, no-nonsense, stripped-down, straight-to-the-point guide on how to produce the most musical record possible ... A joyous read.”

I’m a Musician Too
I was in precisely your position at the early stages of my career. I was a musician, frustrated that I could write a good song, only to feel the record itself fell short of its potential. Over time, I noticed that the performance and arrangement had a far greater impact on the sound than anything I did on the engineering side. The more musical my decisions, the better my results.
“Thank you for this book, Mixerman. Wish I’d had it 20 years ago.”
