Jaco Pastorius can rest easy- Listen and see...

Oh and just to be 100% clear-

The band did NOT pay for ANYTHING. They are signed to a SMALL start-up deal with a PRODUCER. The Producer uses me a lot and offered cost plus % to track and mix. Its a small BS deal and I OWN THE RIGHTS to the tracks. Another hard lesson for bands- NEVER sell your soul for a shot... you usually get WAAYYYY less than you think.

Its the fact that people dont understand what "own the rights" means. If I want to make this track play every time you flush a toilet- I HAVE EVERY RIGHT LEGAL AND OTHERWISE to do so. If I didn't own it, it would be a different story.

Let the trash talk continue!

If you weren't such an annoying asshole, THEN it would be a different story.

Its a bad inside joke to the producer whos reading this too. But, yes, its spelled wrong. Good job!

And here is a photo from set up- studio B. No control room shots since I just use my phone to snap pics of micing and the room. Thats the producer in the foreground. Its one of the best sounding rooms in California, it has the trident console. I also have shots of the drums with a c24 in front and the standard km84, sm57, md421, d112, fet 47, akg452eb but do you really care that much? I don't know, you may...

Then I solo the good track with another good track and they know (now that their track is gone) they are problematic. Then the final blow is if there is another player who is having trouble- solo them together. Two crap tracks make an amazing point. I never once told the Bass player he sucked- his playing did it for him. We soloed him in the control room during tracking and just shook our heads.

and how is this condusive to a productive session? and where is the producer as you belittle the musicians?

I mean, lame musicians or not, would anybody really want to be in a studio (no matter how well equipped) with a guy like whitepapagold in the engineering chair?

'Soloing tracks for punishment'? And you're NOT the producer but you OWN the tracks?

BS.

I feel sorry for you

Cheerio, you're on my ignore list now,
