"stupidest things you have ever heard during a session"

http://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-m...hings-you-have-ever-heard-during-session.html

No wonder it already has over 100 pages

 

[Harry Hughes]

With that many pages, I can be assured of having plenty of material to keep me laughing for a long time.

The faked string session is gold.

Female guitarist during tracking session to me: "Can you flange my Big Muff?"

Bass player over room mic: "Shouldn't you guys get a private room for that?"

So many great ones in that thread.

Tad Donnely actually drops by for a few posts in that thread. Not realizing he was the joke of course.

Caller -"Hey how much is it an hour."
Me - "Well, it depends. What kind of recording are you looking to do?"
Caller - "Professional."



Phone rings:
Me: Sountec...
Caller: Is this the recording studio?
Me: Sure is, can I help you?
Caller: Yeah, can you make me a star?
Me: Ummm.....


High School Punk band: How much are you guys an hour?
Studio: 45 dollars
HSPB: Well all are songs are like 2 minutes long, and we only have 10 to do. If we don't use the full hour, can we get some money back?


Perspective client calls:
Q:How much is studio time?
A: Fifty an hour.
Q:I have a five minute song I need to record, so that would be about 4 or 5 dollars, right?

The one with the guy who though his pickup-selector is for changing strings brought some real-live lols.

I'm very partial about that "faking a string-orchester" thing though, because a) I don't think that ever happened (at least not in a way he described) and b) if it would be true, I don't think it's cool to fuck your clients over in such a manner, especially since he allegedly billed them for a service they never received.

Musicians deserve to have such stunts pulled on them for being musicians
(musicians that are also AE's are exempt from this of course , but im sure we can agree that 90% of musicians are collosal fuckwits)

I just so died after this one

http://www.gearslutz.com/board/646247-post848.html

Jingle session, "A Team" session guys with Asshole Client. 30 second spot with a drum fill in the middle. They do a take and the A.C. says NO! the drum fill has to be boom wacka boom boom. So they do another take and when they get to the fill, the A.C. pushes the talkback and says NO! not boom wacka boom boom, boom boom wacka wacka wacka! This goes on for half an hour until the A.C. says " oh for f*ck sake, just play whatever Steve Gadd would play!". The drummer leans into the OH and says "I AM Steve Gadd".

lol. how easy do those guys think recording is? you just mic up some things and it only takes as long as your song? that you can apparently nail in one take?? ignorance is bliss.
