mixerman!
Woo-hoo, it’s Friday the 13th. Lucky for some…
Blog alert: The Mixerman Diaries. This is an insider’s look at the recording of a new band, in LA. Some of the scenes sound too hilarious to be true, such as the drummer falling over the camera lights and breaking his wrist, leading to the introduction of a session drummer. This guy always plays with earplugs in, so he gets the engineers to gaffa-tape headphones to his head (to reduce sound leakage) and plug them in to a 500W amplifier. He says it sounds great, until all the power overheats the headphone elements and he’s rolling around on the floor with burnt earlobes. It’s pretty much a live diary too – just 2 days ago, the drummer got into a huge fight and left the band. I can hardly wait to see what happens next!
