Summary: Mixing is neither a linear process nor a technical one. It's a musical process, and as such, a mix is some thing that one performs—like an artist. —Mixerman from "Zen and the Art of Mixing" <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mixerman/8900341182">Mixerman</a> (a.k.a. Eric Sarafin) has certainly done his share of interviews in print but when I searched for recorded interviews, I basically came up with nothing. I figured that, with the release of his new book, "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Zen-Art-Mixing-Technical-Reference/dp/1423491505/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1294595199&sr=1-1">Zen and the Art of Mixing</a>," he might be willing to spend some time talking about it. <a title="Zen and the Art of Mixing Book at Amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1423491505?ie=UTF8&tag=fitnessreviewshow-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1423491505" target="_blank"></a>We talked about his musical background, education and career as well as his philosophy on recording and mixing. Mixerman also discusses a bit about the upcoming "<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Total-Access-Master-Class/146667868716737">Total Access Master class</a>" including Ken Scott, Mixerman, Joe McGrath and Wyn Davis. As Mixerman says, "Enjoy!"
