Today I’d like to share with you a sampler of my new book MIXERMAN’S Ultimate Guide to PRODUCING Records, Music & Songs.

The premise is simple: these days, everyone’s a producer, and now you need to learn it all. So, I rewrote, revised, and greatly expanded my 2012 book Zen and the Art of Producing until this new book covered the needs of everyone. I discuss  everything I could think of to help you to produce better music and records with purpose and intent. Soon, you’ll be making records that cause all the right reactions from yourself, which will translate to others. In other words, you’ll make records you can be proud of, and that’s always the goal.

Clocking in at nearly 600 pages, this is easily the most comprehensive book I’ve ever written on the subject of producing, recording, mixing and mastering your music and songs.

Make records that make you proud.

The paperback product is now available on Amazon, and as an eBook on Apple Books and Google Play. There is not an audiobook for this product at this time, and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to make one, so there’s no reason to wait for that. Get your copy today.
