Both excellent questions.
Why do I even try... when dwlb can just slip in something this good and make it look so effortless.

...another 21 year old kid who can't play an instrument and doesn't know music theory. Paul McCartney can't read music. Did I ever tell you about the time he called me and I told him to get lost? Then I went and wrote about it on a message board. Everyone who read it treated me like I was the jacka...

Hey... easy there, Tiger. I know some nice people from New Jersey. My wife, for instance. And my kids.

This is where you recommend one or two of your local/regional competitors, then send them a message that they should expect a cryptic email from someone you steered in their direction.

They may react in any number of ways.

Spring Fever? More like pneumonia, frostbite, and hypothermia.

I'd hate to see your Winter Wonderland concert.

Re: Client wants to "part ways", won't pay for mas

[This is where I will accept your apology for an incorrect assumption, but I see how you might see it this way. Lastly, I am discouraged by the amount of responses in general that are geared towards putting people down or in their place. Some people seem very quick to try to make others look bad. I...

Friendly, open people always get more work than hateful, guarded people. If your studio owner really wanted to be slick, he'd ask the other studio owner to hang out, get some food, have a beer, etc. They might be able to work out some sort of deal where the other studio recommends you for pre-produc...

Yeah, from now on whenever someone complains about a situation not being perfect you'll be able to pull out this story to show how badass you are. I've probably been involved with something like 2000-2500 shows, and I've been a part of some stupid, crazy, and ill-advised nonsense. But I can't think ...

Re: Client wants to "part ways", won't pay for mas

Pardon me for getting back on topic. It's a long story, so here it goes... Young kid 18 years old. Hip Hop artist. Had been brushed off by many studios and I really did want to give him a good experience. We have had a good run. 16 songs, $50/hr cash paid in full after each session. His mom (single ...

As someone who mixes bands he's never heard before on a regular basis, I could kiss the OP. Yes, a 20% volume boost is too high if the banjo is then running through a DI. Guitarists can get away with pretty profound volume boosts because they're then usually going into a saturated tube amp, which wi...
