I'm sorry to see that the video/post audio side is seeing these things now.
I'm from the audio/music side and have seen this since day one. I left the studio thing in '95-'96, other than to help some friends studios here and there.
I had found that the clientele's expectations are generally quite unrealistic and delusional, i.e.: making Metallic's Black record in a four hour session. LOL.
Playing psychologist/psychiatrist more often than not had been too much for me. And the lousy to non-existent pay.
I feel bad for the clientele. And my former students.
Kudos to those who can stick it out. |
