You should forward it to Metallica--they might like it and hire you for the next record
But seriously, I think everyone has whored themselves out atleast once or twice before--money is a big motivator
Have you ever prostitute yourself ????(IN MUSICAL TERMS!!!)

whatever pays my bills
i am constantly tuning vocals,making things tight,and all around making alot of the clients i work with sound 1000x better than they really are. I have to keep the lights on.... For every one good artist or band there has to be 5 bad ones that i record. the good ones totally make up for the bad ones.

listen to this shit : http://www.purevolume.com/delline
One of the guys even took a $50 guitar to record. I couldnt even record it well, because they were so shitty, and so were the instruments. My Gibson SG sounded like if it was pluggued on an ass. In one of the songs, the guy sang everything out of tune, so i had to discover what would be the melody if it was in tune, so i could tune it with auto tune. It sounded like shit but when he listened he was like 'wow, i never sang so nice!'

Ive done recording with bands like and that Ive toured with bands that shall we say were slightly below par. I was on tour one time (with a good band) and got talking to someone at an airport who asked why I did as we were quite obviously a band.. I explained I was the engineer and that I work for whatever band pays me to work with them.. By new friend then dubbed me a musical prostitute so yeah I think Im guilty as well..

Haha.
During the recording it turned out that she had the hots for me when we where like 5 years old.
She always tryed too fool me into all those dark & sinister kissing games(WHAT IF YOU GET THE COOTIES!?)! :O
No kidding?
I never thought I would actually have to ctrl-c ctr-v myself through an entire song before.
They are 18(The blonde, readheadeddude, guy with the hat) and 19(redcoloured girl, blackhaired girl.).
The drummer, bassist and singer are 18 yearolds and have 1 year of musical education behind them.
The 19 yearolds have 2 years of musical education behind them(Old classmates.).
2 of the songs was written by the old guitarist in my old band(He fucked the guitarist with black hair.).
And the other one was written by the singer, who seems to be the most talented amongst them(Nailed all songtracks pretty good on the first try, and on the guitar, and on bass.).
[rant]what the hell is all this "prostituting" and "whoring" shit? look, when you're just starting out you take the work that presents itself and you treat it as a craft and you are grateful for the experience. jobs are fewer and farther in between at first and you just take the work... liking the band is not an issue... and it's NOT prostitution or whoring (two different things anyway, since prostitutes get paid)... that's just ridiculous, you lot have your heads in entirely the wrong place, and unless you do a gang of shit bands for shit money early on you'll never even make it to doing goods bands for decent/good/great pay. jeeeeez.... this kinda thing, combined with the fact that no one seems to feel the need to intern at real studios and learn anything properly anymore, is really worrisome man.
it's supposed to go like this: you hone your chops for producing by working with crap bands... you hone you chops for engineering by recording bands with questionable gear, and again for producing by winning little victories in the battles to get them to use better gear, perhaps yours, when theirs just really sucks..... and you hone your mixing chops by mixing the results ....
get the hell over yourselves and put in the work... there are no shortcuts.[/rant]
if you ever actually do find yourself with the choice to either prostitute or whore yourself out AFTER you've spent the years to build your abilities and ear to the point of working professionally, always pick the former.... you'll get more respect (only because people only value what they pay for)

Yes and no. I've turned down many projects that I thought that I couldn't benefit or bring to the next level. I refuse to screw somebody over!
I have taken on jobs for ridiculously low amounts of money either because I was in a rough patch or because I wanted to work with the band.

What I meant is that she did those things when we where like 5(And most boys are afraid of girls in that age.).
I wouldnt mind today, if I didnt happen to be friends with her boyfriend.
This is why I changed my major (EDIT: and career aspirations) from Music Industry to Urban Planning - music/production is far too near and dear to my heart as a hobby to have to dread doing it, so I'm keeping it squarely in the "hobby" portion of my life!

As usual, James is right. Besides, you never know... sometimes that agonizing project that took way too long & nearly drove you off the deep end might wind up becoming a Black Metal classic.

Yea I used to get random Facebook or MySpace messages from local bands I've never heard of asking me to record a demo for them. At the time I had almost no equipment and even $50 was enough for me to become ignorant to the fact the band was just god awful and had no knowledge of the recording process whatsoever. The recordings usually came out as bad as the band back then but hey, we all get our start somewhere.

Sounds like shit!
I play in two cover bands so I don't have to have a "real" job. It's amazingly depressing sometimes.

To true. The problem is everyone one with a cracked copy of cubase these days calls themselves a producer.. Ive done the academic route. Then worked at a couple of local studios for years and spend years doing live sound including four and a half years in a venue near here before working for many international artists.
Im not saying Ive been there and done it all but Im still uncomfortable calling myself a producer.. I believe there are still more dues to be paid by hard work and learning. Also I think being a producer is something you cant just go out and start calling yourself..you need to earn it first as James illustrated. The more people claiming it under values the title.
I first felt I could justify calling myself it when another noted producer in our scene called me it.. Was kinda like being knighted, being handed the title by one of our peers who had already earnt it. despite this isnt not a term I throw around and still feel there much work still to be done to continue to deserve it!
