Mixerman — Books on Producing, Recording & Mixing
Intro
Welcome! Mixerman here!
That's my pen name, of course. In the studio I'm Eric Sarafin, and I've spent several decades making records, including a number of gold and platinum ones, with over a billion streams to my name.
I currently produce, mix, and master records out of my room in Asheville, NC. Visit my Mixing page if you'd like to know more, or drop me a message through the contact portal to ask about rates and availability.
My work as a mixer and producer notwithstanding, I'm best known for my books. The Daily Adventures of Mixerman went viral before viral was even a thing. My best selling book, Zen and the Art of MIXING, is considered the bible for high-level mixing. And my newest and most comprehensive work, Mixerman's Ultimate Guide to PRODUCING Records, Music & Songs, was a 2026 TEC Awards finalist and received enormous praise in Tape Op Magazine.
So, go ahead. Poke around. You'll find everything you need right here.
Enjoy,
Mixerman

Recording Studio Rockstars #544 with Mixerman
I'm back on Lij Shaw's Recording Studio Rockstars, this time for episode #544, to talk about what actually makes a mix musical.
Mixing Music Podcast
I joined Dee Kei and Lu on the Mixing Music Podcast for a fun conversation on the issues facing young music makers and producers today — many of which I address in my book MIXERMAN'S Ultimate Guide to PRODUCING Records, Music & Songs.
