Tim, where is Bubba in all of this? I won't ask the obvious questions (I researched them instead)... I enjoyed the diaries.... but, I get what you are saying E.D. and I always have a healthy skepticism... this is the juiciest of gossip in a way... and yet, somehow it makes everything kind of human....
I know I don't know anything about recording... but, boy, the whole process seems so self conscious... I'd love to read Gary Katz talking about making a Steely Dan record or Bill Symcyzk or Peter Asher/Val Garay...
Ken, I signed up for tape op....
Anyway, I think I like my garage... maybe my neighbor has some fatties.

I've seen a lot of 'hard copy' versions of the Mixer Man Diaries in both large and small studios here. Sitting on the coffee table in the lounge (if there is a lounge) and/or in the john. I've seen engineers actually hand it to particularly 'potentially' troublesome clients
.
Of course there's also the complete "opposite" type of session/scenario :
Self contained band that 'seems' like a bunch of burnouts lays down "basics" for 12 cuts in three 10 hour days. Two weeks of overdubs, vocals, editing and two weeks of mixing and mastering. Boom! Done. That stuff isn't nearly as fun to read about though.
*Randy you'll really dig "TapeOP". It's my favorite music mag and I 'barely' do any recording at home.
