What does being a producer really mean!?

[smy1]

You mean bang her brains out...

Thats is how I will interpret your post... no matter how you try to influence it...

Hahaha. I am too old for sexin' young chicks. It's usually no fun at all.

I'd rather take the money!!!

i used this technique a month ago when i was recording a radio rock band.
the guitarist is a very fucking good guitarist. and he had no solo written exactley for this song we were working on. at the point in time we were getting ready to record him playing some solo stuff / improv a bit, i was in dire need of a drink and had nothing at the studio at that time. so i setup a loop and told him to just keep playing whatever he felt like playing everytime it looped. i left and went to the gas station.

when i got back, there were 14 takes.

an hour later we had compiled a solo that involved about 6 of the takes at different points

and it is still the best solo of all 6 songs.

Thanks for sharing, Joey (haha, that sounds like at the end of a Producers Anonymous group session ...)!

Being a producer is like being a parent.

Your kids hate it when you tell them what to do. And by the time they turn 30, they realize why you used to do so.
