Who's fault is it? It's not really about that. Just let it be known that most engineers regularly work with clients that are very near their own level. If every band that comes to you sucks beyond belief, that is a fair estimate of your abilities.... or at least your reputation. |
Amen to that, eh? Guess its due-payin time! Woo-Hoo! It must take a few bad ones before the light shines, i know what i like... sort of, but trying to emulate or reproduce it is the hard part, but i bet you guys didn't sound like Bruce Swedien when you first started. The band and/or players must have something to do with the over-all sound of the record. Thanx all for the responses.
