Thread Starter | What's the BIGGEST lie you've told a client? I'm talking lies to keep the vibe good when it's starts getting ugly. Things like 'falsetto's perfect for this section' or 'The Stones are sloppy' or 'it won't sound so out of tune once it's mixed'...

|  My biggest lie was, hands down, "No, I assure you, I'm NOT REALLY from planet Zoron".   But they didn't believe me, so I ate them - not bad, really - in fact, possibly the most delicious client I ever tasted.

| Why not tell the client the truth?!? IME musicians generally aren't as stupid and gullible as this thread would make one believe... Personally whenever I smell a lie, I make a mental note to never ever do business again with the ****er who treated me like a chump. |

That was the one I was going to share... except I put it "dude, Bourbon does something pretty magical to your guitar playing... when we get to guitars later today pound a pint before we start... OK" We were going to start his guitar tracks around 4 in the afternoon... the 'replacement player' was booked for 7pm so I needed the player drunk, asleep, and out of the way before the real guitar player showed up. Worked like a charm.

 Hmm, let's see...Depending on the client: "No, that Tube Composer in my rack isn't a Behringer! It just has the same name." "Oh, THIS cool looking thing? That's a Tube Composer. It's onna the best compressors out there." (It actually isn't even plugged into the patch bay, I bought it solely because it looks cool. It's currently sandwiched in between a Voxbox and an 1176. Oh, the humanity.)  | |
