As to my identity, there are all sort of theories out there. There's even people who claim to "know." But you have to be careful about what you read on the internet. There are all sorts of competing theories out there

Perhaps....but I was at an AES Rec Audio Pro dinner a year or so prior to the release of the diaries, and there was someone there who said they posted on R.A.P. and introduced themselves as <insert name> who said they went by Mixerman. If that wasn't you then I apologize for misrepresenting you.

I'll just say this: It's all true.

IRRC no one's doubted that it's true. What they doubt (and I stand by) is this is a single band and producer and not a conglomeration of many events with composite people drawn up.

You're more than welcome to stand by a guess. But I might point out that I've never worked with Guns and Roses. The Diaries are, in fact, 7 years old, not 3. Demand is, and has been, high since I sold out of the first edition. The first edition books frequently sell on Ebay for over $100 regardless of the condition. If there was no demand, I'm fairly certain the title wouldn't have been picked up by a Major Publishing house. And lastly, in order to "make" $200k I would have had to have sold at least 20,000 copies of it. In order to gross $200k I would have had to have sold 10,000 copies. I can promise you, I didn't print anywhere near 20,000 or 10,000 copies from my little online store. That's why I signed with a publisher.

So, that's three blaring factual errors in your post. I'm thinking you're far from being "in the know" on any of this. Perhaps you believe that my work is fiction because so much of your work is fiction. Just saying.

Anyone who is wondering if I'm an impostor is welcome to email me for verification. You can reach me here: mixerman@mixerman.net. I'll come by again when I have an exact date on the book release.

Thanks guys!

Oh, and GO CAKEWALK!

Enjoy,

Mixerman

I don't know that you're really an imposter. I just wanted to help add to your mystique

Why thank you. I now give you permission to tell me I'm wrong.

But I might point out that I've never worked with Guns and Roses.

I heard it that way and say that because of the guy who told was working for GNR at the time. He also worked for Cheap Trick during that era too. I don't really care either way. The Diaries are super fun reading and it matters little whether I'm right, you are right, or I imagined the whole thing.

The Diaries are, in fact, 7 years old, not 3.

I started going to the r.a.p AES dinners about 1998 or so. I heard and saw what I saw at them. But once again...does it matter if I know or don't know? I like the diaries, lots of people like the diaries. And as far as I know no one has ever bought or not bought a copy becuase of what I think or say.

Demand is, and has been, high since I sold out of the first edition. The first edition books frequently sell on Ebay for over $100 regardless of the condition.

Are you saying you don't make money from your publisher?

That's confusing...if you think I'm implying or saying outright that you aren't the enigneer you say you are, I'm not. And I apologize to you if you think I'm saying that. I was speaking from my expierience that I don't talk publically about clients or people who are providing me with a living and get to keep working. Perhaps you can. It's a weird enough business and you could be in a strong enough position to do so. I know I can't.

he's just covering for that secret pro tools addiction he's got...

Hey everyone, I don't mean to necro thread or anything, but for those of you who enjoyed The Daily Adventures of Mixerman, I've released a new satire on the current state of the music business. It's called #Mixerman and the Billionheir Apparent, and it's a wild ride. Check out the trailer for both the fully produced audiobook and the hardbound book.

Enjoy, #Mixerman

I do enjoy the womb and your observations, though....

I'm in contact with Nate frequently. I'll give him a heads up about the new project. Nice to see you around here again Eric.
