Farting in front of clients.

What is your policy on this? I figure it's my friggin room, if they can't be creative in this environment, then maybe this isn't the studio for them.

I've had to institute a smoke outside/fart outside policy lately. When these dudes sit around eating doritos and beef jerkey all day, it can get pretty disgusting.

This is the post of the day....for sure.

If it doesn't smell, it doesn't matter.

On a related topic, any techniques or tricks for micing farts?

Do you avoid using ribbons for fear of wind?

OK...I'll stop now.

I wouldn't fart into anything that might be used as vocal mic, but a wind screen seems nessesary.

And I was talking about the engineer farting in the studio. Smoking and farting outside rules MUST be followed by clients.

Also, no feeding my dog chicharones.

but, the engineer's farts don't stink, right? wait... that's the producer.

Way back in 1990 or so there was a Rolling Stone cover story/interview with one Axl Rose. He mentioned that his favorite tape at that time was a bootleg cassette called something like "Horrid Farts vol. 2" which was a descriptively titled compendium of somebody's recorded works. I think this was in response to the interviewer asking "so what have you been listening to lately?"

My assistant can fart like no one else I know. The thing is, he's lactose intolerant, but still eats tons of dairy.

Anytime someone slips a fart in the control, he'll retaliate. Suffice to say, he only needs to do it once before they learn...

I one had a tally board for a band of overly gaseous guys. I told that I was adding $100 to the bill for each fart. One from the singer was so bad that they stopped playing because they could be in the live room with the smell. That was a $200 fine!

Ahhh... this sounds like the most reasonable course of action. Fart fines. I will need it with the band I have coming in next. Thier drummer could kill a man.

I just found out yesterday (from a reliable source) that apparently Axl has this thing for kicking people in the nuts. I thought it was ironic, considering I've always wanted to kick Axl in the nuts.

I dunno, maybe it's just the way I was raised, but if I recorded in a studio as a client where the engineer kept farting, it would be my last trip to his studio. I'm gonna have to second the smoke outside/fart outside policy.

Unless you're alone..

it can be bad enough being in a room w/ 5 guys for days on end, so bodily functions shouldn't be a focus or distraction during a recording...i think personal space of all types needs to be respected in the studio...my least favorite is haveing to listen to people eat in the control room while i'm trying to work...or the loss of space that protools has created...it seems like latley there is always some dude hovering over me watching the screen instead of listening...ugh...

Turn off the screen when listening to takes.
