is that balance easy for you? (you have talked a lot about attitude so this has to relate to that right?) |
I've been through many ups and downs in the studio. Lot's of disappointments which taught me to let go.
But I was also lucky enough to have worked with a like minded partner for 15 years where artists came to us for us. That's comfortable.
When a session is askew I'm usually the first one to say it's not working. I've taken myself off several gigs because of a big difference in vision.
Still hurts, but you have to learn to let it go. Some ideas are worth fighting for, others are interesting but inconsequential in music. Let them go.
An old maxim, 'Honesty is the best policy'. Be up front with your artist at all times. That will always be appreciated by the ones who matter.
