that's no "engineer" . . . . if he let's someone else set up the vocal mic or at least doesn't check to make sure it's set up properly before they do a "take". The vocal is 'semi' important. *smile*

Upon hearing that strange but familiar sound, engineer rushes into the booth and twists the mic around, and gives young vocalist guy the wink... The mic was facing the wrong way...
