Things said way too often in the studio, I'll start.

[Contra Studio]

Epic Fail!

 

[felipe-x]

"Finally we are done, will you tune the vocals later please?"

"We changed the members of the band again this week"

"we need to find a dj to do the drum n bass part of the song"(they never find it)

"can you duplicate that arm track 10 times , please?" come on.. learn how to sing first


i get that allot

 

[tgs]

Not said but often heard: guitarists finished tuning (usually taking 10x longer than they should), immediately followed by a number of intense bends.

 

[everybody's x]

^HA!

 

[outloaf]

Screamer in vocal booth: "Rawrrrr rawwrrrrrrr whrewwrrrrrrr!"
Me: "Dude, do that again but watch your timing and give it more power."
Screamer dipshit: "Rawwwwwwwwww rawrrrrrr rehhh."
Me: "That wasn't at all what you did before- what are the lyrics for this part?"
Moron facing mic: "Uhhh... I don't have lyrics."
Me: "Guitarist, can you scream? yes? Into the booth!"

 

[outloaf]

Another one for strings:
"Hey dude, remember how I told you to put new strings on your guitar?"
Dude: "yeah, I did last night."
Me: "Well, they're dead because you were playing on them last night."
Dude: "But I just put them on."

This happens every time.

FRESH POTS!

 

[jeid]

FRESH POTS!

Pahaha! I need to hear this more!

 

[bedubaya]

"but I got it right the first time, .. Cant you just copy and paste it? "

"you can fix that right?"

"i'm almost positive we play it 4 times instead of 6 when we play live"

 

[jipchen]

"Oops I accidently messed with the tone knob again" (while tracking guitars or bass)

"This take was ok, was it?"
"Yeeaaaah...... no."

 

[AdamG94]

'My guitar is in tune, listen!' (insert strumming noise of a very out of tune guitar)

My personal favourite though, 'can we just play the solo note by note? And then you can edit it together, right?'

 

[ArthurD]

take of your glasses and play the fucking guitar!
and
It's time to do that supersayan thing you do
(both when recording my ultra nerd friend bemolator)

lol

 

[plague_rider]

You can fix that, right?

"Oh shit, I forgot to bring ___________"

^^^You ever read something and get flashbacks... like you were in Nam or something.... *shudders*

They are, the second worst seems to be bassists but then you can just delete their takes and do it yourself when they have left so it ain't so bad haha.

I try my hardest to fight this stereotype... and any other bassists I've came across that give validation to the above statement get a fucking slap...

 

[dan weapon]

"I know the guitar tone sounds rubbish just NOW, but it'll sound great when I put the Sneap C4 on it later..."




[/joke]

 

[Kellii]

I try my hardest to fight this stereotype... and any other bassists I've came across that give validation to the above statement get a fucking slap...

I wish every bassist would try and fight that stereotype lol. I've met a few bassists you would love to slap.

 

[Skinny Viking]

"This drummer fucking sucks." while editing.

Also: "I'm not getting paid enough for this."

the amount of times I said that over the last 2 weeks is staggering

 

[crillemannen]

From Me...
"do it again but better" whilst i press Cmd+period.

Haha im with you bro!!!

 

[Ermz]

(Excerpt from my session last night)
Me: Heres the playback. What do you think? (just trying to get through shit take after shit take, wanting to take my own life)
Singer: Eh, its ok. I can do better though.

Then he subsequently does several more bad takes. None of which is better than the last.
