The stupidest thing you've heard thread is gutbusting, but what about the stupidest thing you've done in a session? I reckon I have a million, but to begin:
I started as an assistant in a pretty big (5 studio) place here in Oz. On one of my first few sessions as a first I finished a long mix, using all the tricks I'd learnt on the SSL, assisting some really good engineers. I played the mix one last time for the producer and he said "great, gotta go, put it down "and left. I ran it off and took the tape into the dubroom to make a safety. I played the mix and there was nothing. Not even hiss. Nothing. I spooled, nothing. I went back down to the studio and tried to sort out the problem. Then I noticed there were no leads going to the 1/2" machine. I swear the meters were moving the first time. I was young.
