thought i'd throw this out here. definitely the consummate professional.
Edit: Also the conversation going on in Putney's status is amazing
@Smy1 Jeff did the drum edits for that record.
Sortof. I definitely edited drums for the record, but they didn't end up on the record. That's part of the problem.
This guy has a fucking store when you enter his website.
how lame is that?
I bet a million kids on the interwebs would kill for that info, lolDave B. said:The last communication we had i asked you to call me. this after mix one......you copped an attitude, like the one you have now, and then told me what settings to use, eq, samples, it was a joke.
Also this is pretty fucking silly

No, the best way to get ahead in the music business is to have something others want - be it songs, production style, image, connections, whatever.
Also (and I know because I purposely do it myself regularly): a good way to stay in people's minds is to deliver "oh shit"-moments every now and then. That's something good/bad/stupid/crazy that will make people go "Oh shit! What did he do now??". Bashing the dude who mixed your record is not such a bad idea in terms of publicity. Of course it only works if your skills are actually accepted as "good". With the very short attention spans of today, people will not remember it in May 2013.
I'm amazed that people still believe in the "be nice to everyone, keep your head down and be a team player"-crap
It's actually quite smart if you consider that
a) on his site he wants to sell his samples to people - so the thing they get when they find his website are ... the samples
b) at his level, nobody needs to see his resumé on his website telling them what gear he has - he gets business based on his recording, not through his website. That's why Andy's site is 2 years behind on current development and Colin Richardson doesn't even have a site. It simply doesn't matter.
c) he can cash in on everyone trying to get "that Sturgis sound", cause it's more likely that 100 bands will buy samples for $60 than even 1 band that "finds" his site will shell out $6000 for a production - especially if he's busy and fully booked anyway.
Being a nice guy doesn't mean you let people walk all over you, it means showing respect for other people's work and not behaving like a 12 year old twat.
while I totally agree, marketing yourself like that is really bad to start with. "sturgis" is considered more as a product than a real person IMO. good for him thought.
I agree. The funny part is that Bendeth is the one acting like a 12 year old twat in his response to Joey's rather mild criticism.
