    Tracking engineers, and client tone?

    nothing beats getting your mic placement sorted. guitarist "im just going to the toilet" proceeds to run into tracking room and move mic me " -_- " guitarist "oh man thats how i like it to sound at home" or " trust me i know my own tone "

    Tracking engineers, and client tone?

    I run into this issue way too much ... i recall one time whilst high and low passing guitar i had the guitarist of the band accuse me of "sapping" his tone. This then proceeded into a full on yell fest between me and the band with them accusing me of not knowing how to do my job or not knowing...
