| Two stories of local legend in which I was unfortunately not involved:
Producer:
"What's that hi-pitched tinny thing?"
Engineer:
"What? Where?"
Producer:
"Right there!"
Engineer begins soloing tracks.
Producer:
"There! That's it!"
Engineer:
"That's a hi hat, Nick.'
Also, from notoriously difficult female singer:
"I have GOT to have more SMPTE in the headphones?"
Needless to say, this engineer gave it to her LOUD AND CLEAR before pressing play again.
