Of course it depends on the artist, but I am an asshole of an engineer, so it takes a lot to satisfy me before we can move on to another section of a song. I think artists are starting to hate me (until they here how perfect the money take sounds when they finally spit it out).

I have only had a handful of one take verses in the last decade.


Oh yeah, I HATE punch-ins and refuse to do them. Unless the part absolutely requires it, we record it natural without punches.

This is why I could never engineer in a commercial facility since I would drive the artists crazy. Most of my engineering gigs are by request from artists that I've worked with and know the end results of my madness, so they put up with me.

With that being said, I prefer to arrange the music instead of the engineering aspect. I do mix my shit though.
