Job inquiry on MySpace...

[006]

Ugh, some band hit me up about mixing something they had recorded somewhere else and/or just recording a full length with me altogether. Usually that's awesome and no big deal but the guitarist (guy who messaged me) specifically said he wanted to "harness the power" of his PowerBall. uke:

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

It pays good? Do it nevertheless. It doesn't, then it's your choice

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Sounds like a Manowar quote.

 

[kaomao]

you can always reamp through a different amp and letting him believe that is his mighty powerball lol

This.

Is exactly what I would do.

 

[Soundlurker]

Not if they don't have DI tracks which they probably don't.

 

[LydonB]

Maybe their tracks are good already and mixing won't be horrendous.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

haha...good luck


actually...I usually INSIST on DIs when I'm mixing outside recordings.....it's my reputation in the end, and in the booklet it says "mixed by..." and not "we didn't have any money and also insisted on using our shit amp, that's why it's sounding so shite".

Accept the job and then stab the guitarist in the throat no less than twice. Record him screaming in place of one of the leads.

 

[006]

Haha, well after I sent him a message and he replied I think they are just going to record with me in which case I will take DI's as standard practice like usual. Kinda glad as the guy they recorded with before does terrible work and I was dreading the source tracks in the case that I would just mix what they had already.

Wouldn't that be the greatest concept for a serial killer? Book a session with a band, and when they come in you stab them to death one by one and record their screaming/dying sounds. Then you release that instead of their album.

 

[JBroll]

Harness the power that would be going into the Powerball by plugging a better amp in. Tell him you harnessed the power of his Powerball. Done deal.

A month after release tell him how you harnessed the power and videotape it for my amusement.

But by then, many of his friends may have ordered powerballs after he has spread the word that the power of his mighty ball was present on the record, leading to further powerballs turning up around the area needing to be harnessed (which could be detremental to 006's health)

 

[JBroll]

That's just more Powerballs to ignore and twit guitarists to laugh at, then...

Jeff

 

[Joematthews]

Just yell "harness the power of THESE balls" and tea bag him. He either won't come back, or he'll shut the fuck up.
